Using this as a "floating buffet" in my kitchen to go along side our new counter height table/chair set. Roomy enough as school papers cubbies and with a couple nice boxes for handy regular use supplies (scissors, pens, tape, etc,) yet slim enough that it doesn't protrude into the space. Low enough room for mail sorters and some cute decor and frames on top, but high enough (level with bar table/chairs) that dog feeding/water bowls underneath make a small space very comfortable and functional for 4 humans and 3 large dogs.
