I use this cart as counter space and storage in my laundry room.  I wanted a cart with wheels to place near the washer/dryer so I could move it if I need to access the back of the appliances for service, etc. (I did not want to build cabinetry around my appliances for this reason).  The length and width of the top of this cart is sufficient for folding clothes, holding my laundry basket plus other items at the same time.  Prior to my purchase, I read that the drawers did not slide out quite far enough and I agree with this assessment.  However, it would not stop me from buying this cart.  I did not attach the spice rack or towel holder to either side of the cart - this kept it within the width space that was available in the room.
