this cart provides  much needed storage and counter space in my kitchen, I have all my baking utensils in it. best of all is the mobility, when i bake i just roll it close to the stove,the butcher block type surface is wonderful for rolling out my doughs and cleaning is done in a jiffy.I have a waffle maker and a small table grill on the shelfs but not my heavy kitchen machines. the cart it self looks very atractive and I am very pleased with it, I also paid the extra for a handy,  they are so much faster and professionell, all in all very pleased
