I'll start with the good stuff then get to the small but negligible buts.Pros:I know it's not real wood but oh my goodness does it look gorgeous. Vibrant, natural. The whole piece really has a sophisticated industrial look. I was afraid that the metal framing might look kinda cheap but it doesn't. I scraped around on it with the screws quite a bit while putting it together and none of the black coating got damaged, so I'm looking forward to it lasting quite a while before dings and scratches show up.As far as storage space, this purchase has singlehandedly changed our lives. We have kind of an awkward kitchen with very crammed storage on one side and no storage whatsoever, just a wall on the other side. We had a crammed little coffee table there for the longest time and I finally cracked and bought this to go alongside it. Not only does it make everything much less crammy, we now have extra space everywhere and the entire kitchen just feels much more homey and intentional.The instructions were easy enough to follow. You can probably set it up by yourself, although having someone holding things in place while you're putting the screws in definitely helps. all the tools you need are included in the package.Cons (or tips)That brings us to construction. Essentially they have you put together the main body and the slim shelf on top separately,and afterwards the shelf gets attached to the main surface. I'm not sure if that's the smartest way to do it. It's hard to keep all the parts in place while putting this thing together. You're holding up two frames while also trying to fixate a shelf board between them from two sides. With me that resulted in the bottom parts of the frame for the top shelf not sitting flat on the surface of the main shelf when it came to attaching it. I was able to fix that by just loosening a couple screws here and there and wiggling it into place. But that was before I attached the long board at the very top, mind you.So, long story short, you may want to consider attaching the top shelf frames to the main board first, then adding the boards in between. That's what I'd do if I had to do this again. Before you do that though, remove the plastic corner protectors on the main board (at first I thought they weren't meant to come off because they were stuck so tightly. Trust me, they are - there's a reason they're not in the pictures online lol)Last thing, when attaching the crossing metal rods to the back, they want you to push in the screws from the back. But that would leave the nuts and the tips of the screws exposed to the front, so I did it the other way around, which works just fine and looks nicer. Just gotta make sure they don't scrape against your wall when you set it up.Now, even once put together, the whole thing still has a little bit of give/wobbliness once put together. Not enough to be a huge issue but still. So that's minus one star for some minor construction issues and sturdiness but I'm still in love and super happy we went with this affordable, yet beautiful and practical piece.I was trying to create counter space. It held many of the appliances we’ve accumulated over the years. It was easy enough to put together. It arrived safely. Parts were labeled and the holes lined up. No parts were missing. We did use a drill to assemble. It looks nice, not a completely cheap look. It seems sturdy enough. We did anchor it to the wall to be safe. I would recommend to someone who needs inexpensive storage.My dislike was they didn't deliver it at my front door so I have to carry it by myself and it's so heavy that I suffered taking it by myself.I love this rake!!! So easy to put together with easy-to-follow instructions! It shipped with sturdy packaging that guaranteed no lost parts during shipment. The wood is beautiful. I purchased dark brown. Well worth the money.This stand went together really easily. All parts were well marked & the instructions were easy to follow. The storage capacity is ALOT! Really good piece for the price.This product has been a big win. It’s very sturdy and is holding a variety of small appliances and large pots and pans without issue or concern. The only downside is that the small hooks on the side to hold mugs, etc, are an awkward length such that the mugs don’t sit at a height that makes sense, but that hasn’t had a huge impact for my use.Anyone complaining clearly didn't look at the instructions completely. Especially the video complaining that things are backwards....well YOU BUILT IT BACKWARDS. If your parts aren't fitting correctly then you have them in the wrong spot. Swap them.I absolutely love it help my kitchen get organizedLooks even better than expected. It's study enough to hold a ninja xl oven and a heavier coffee machine.
