I used this shelf for something different than use in a kitchen. I set this up in my bedroom to use on my computer set-up at my desk. It allowed me to consolidate 11 different items such as two desktop towers, 2 printers, Chromebox, home theater DVD player, some books, basically a shelf unit for all my "toys" in one spot. I chose this because it had the space to be able to put two Old Windows XP Towers on it which took a shelf of 18 " high. I researched this and designed this project for a while and this worked well for me and my use. I have to say that assembly was easy and the quality was well worth what I paid for it, considering it was on sale! I may upload a picture later once I finish installation of everything.
