I had a small space in my home office where I needed some type of table to hold bills, papers, etc, while I worked on them. This cart fit the soace perfectly and had two extrat shevles for storage. The only difficulty I had was in getting the top shelf to line up with the metal progs that fir into the grooves in the underside of the shelf. I had to bend the prongs out a little bit to make them fit. It is a very solid piece of furniture and would recommend it.
