Pros: Nice sizable piece to help organize mail of all sizes, plus white and color paper and coloring books for kids. Sits in the pantry right off kitchen, and is so nice to keep counters clear and things easily accessible at same time. Cons: Chalkboard is a little cheap (you can see the paint drips) and it's gunmetal gray rather than galvanized, which I had assumed it was. Nevertheless, I like it a lot.
