I have an existing marble counter top in my office and I wanted something on the other wall to compliment it. I saw a variety of things and finally settled on this. I am so pleased with the result! I am even more pleased that the entire office loves it as well. I expected this the go "well" or "okay" with my existing marble, but I never expected it to look like it was built to match my kitchen, yay! The wall this sits on is wide enough to accommodate two of these side by side, and we might purchase another if we need the extra space. This is the depth of a counter top, and wide enough to actually be useful. It wasn't that difficult to put together, but I would suggest using two people. This is sturdy and good quality. It looks nice, and everyone, including the CEO, is very happy.
