I've had this kitchen stand for almost 4 years now and still love it. I have a VERY small kitchen in a shotgun-style kitchen->dining->living room layout and needed more storage space. I had a spot about 36" wide on the short wall after moving the fridge and this fit perfectly. It's a few inches shallower (front-back) than the counter and the perfect height to go right up against the cabinet under where the countertop sticks out. It really opens up the space as you go into the kitchen.It was pretty easy to put together, had all the parts and instructions were clear enough if you've ever assembled mass-produced furniture before. It's EXTREMELY sturdy, had held everything I've piled on it including 50+lbs of pet food on the largest shelf. The largest shelf doesn't quite fit two of the IRIS 33QT pet food storage containers, so I put one of those and one slightly smaller without wheels in it. The wood surfaces show no damage from having wheeled containers and storage bins and tools and whatever else slid across them for 3.5 years. The wider short shelf is perfect for a little Ninja air fryer/oven so it doesn't take up space on my counter when I'm not using it. The top has become a catch-all for stuff as I'm trying to clean and reorganize my kitchen and pantry.I have three cats who are obsessed with shoving their toys under the furniture, fridge, closet doors, etc, so I used some scrap 1x2s to fill the space underneath the lower shelves when I got tired of fishing them back out (upright on the left and laid flat on the right).I've been using a couple larger fabric storage bins to hold dog treat-dispensing toys and assorted home repair, pet and craft supplies in the two smaller shelves but wanted to try to organize them better. I found that a 14QT IRIS brand storage drawer from Wally World (14, not 14.5) fits PERFECTLY. You have to use just a bit of force to get it slid into place, and it doesn't move as you pull the drawer out. I then put a "SJTOEB" brand metal drawer (ASIN B0CP8Y166D) on top of the IRIS drawer to fill the rest of the space. Now I don't have to dig through a single big storage bin full of stuff!This is an awesome addition to your kitchen (or wherever you have a use for it) at a great price!
