I think this is a great tool for crafting spaces of all types. If you live in an apartment and you have a space big enough for it to be open, it can turn any space into a crafting area. I love that! We have ours in our basement, and it's open almost all the time. The nice thing, though, is that it closes up pretty compactly, so it isn't an eyesore or in the way all the time if you don't need it to be.
