This unit has served me well for fabric/craft storage and later for office use, when I put a black laminated board on top so I could put my printer on it. It is rather lightweight (easy to carry), made of hollow light, gauge metal tubing, so not suited for very heavy things like boxes full of hard-back books (though my printer is that weight). The fabric containers shown collapse if you want to store them for later use. If you want more containers for the top row they sell them at Target, Home Depot and lots of other places, but they probably won’t be an exact match. (Maybe stick purchased ones in the bottom row so they aren’t so noticeable.) The bottom two shelves are level and the top shelf is designed to tilt forward a bit. It’s in fine shape and the surface of the black board has no marks but the corner where I cut it is not ideal and I did not bother to paint the cut end. The other end is laminated. Susan
