This kitchen "Island" is small, but has a Lot of storage.  The only problem is that it's not as tall as standard kitchen cabinets & countertop, which is 36" high. This "Island" is only 29" high (without wheels) and 32" (with wheels). So if you are a tall person you be bending down a lot to use this as a work surface. I am only 5'4" and I still had to bend down. It is too low to use as a work surface i.e. chopping veggies or cooking. But it works great as a Microwave, Toaster Oven or Coffee Pot stand.  I used the cabinets and drawers to store my coffee & tea, as well as some pantry food items. I also kept the wheels off because it obviously wasn't tall enough to use as a work surface.
