We ordered this for use in our half bath for storage. It's not huge but we can fit so much stuff in it, it's like Mary Poppin's bag! One whole shelf is designated for medicine and the like. Obviously not a good idea if you have small children but ours are old enough they don't touch that sort of thing. We use the next shelf for lotions, perfumes, sunscreen and that sort of thing. Would be great for makeup as well! The next shelf we use for bathroom related things like toilet paper, tampons, wipes, etc. There is still room to spare. It easily can fit small bins to prevent clutter and also to save on space if you have a lot of small things like nail polish.
It was easy to put together and the only damage was a very small ding, which is inside and hidden. I was able to get a small refund back to compensate instead of sending the whole unit back. My only complaint is that the doors do not line up perfectly no matter how hard we tried. It's close enough, but we are so OCD we notice it. I'm sure not every unit will be this way. I'm not sure of the wood but it's coated in enough paint that it shouldn't get ruined in a moist setting or if someone were to set a drink on top for whatever reason. I do keep plants on the top but I keep dishes underneath to catch any water should they overflow.
It's overall a great piece, and a good price especially if you have a good coupon, which we did! This piece probably will not last forever and probably won't withstand a lot of moving as I imagine it will scratch and dent easily but otherwise I highly recommend!
