We have a small kitchen that has very few cabinets and no pantry. I have been looking for the perfect size pantry cabinet for quite some time to fit next to this minuscule kitchen in the only spot available. It needed to not be very deep, but tall, at least 7 ft, to give us plenty of storage space, because this was going to be a tight fit. I also wanted it to look nice, preferably wood and have a modern look to it, but not cost an arm and a leg. I had spent about six months looking and could not find anything with those specifications. Time to settle for function over form. This is a great cabinet! Yes, it’s metal, which isn’t great for in the house, but it really doesn’t look too bad. It is very well-made and I was able to put it together without any help from my husband. The directions were understandable and all the pre-drilled holes were actually lined up right. It is very sturdy, and each shelf can hold a lot of weight, as you can see in the picture where some of the shelves have a lot of canned goods on them. I love the fact that it has a small cabinet on the top that can be locked, so I can put goodies in there that can be kept secure from kids who like to raid them. Could see it being used for other things, such as alcohol if you have older kids in your home and don’t want watered-down vodka. I’m very happy with this purchase.
