I bought this cabinet to hide the trash from the dog and from plain view. It turned out to be a good purchase. It's a pretty cabinet and provides more surface area. I use the top to accommodate my keurig coffee maker and fixings. My only wish was that the materials were of better quality,  but for the price I really can't complain. Be ready to be patient with the assembly. The instructions that came in the box had errors,  but we found a corrected version of the instructions on the Wayfair website.
