Kettle and coffee machine with ample teabags, coffee pods and milk cartons, unfortunately you had to move the kettle etc to another surface be able to plug them in as no socket close enough. Blackout blind perfect. Only enough room on rail for 4 hangers, and the drawers were very small, not suitable for storage. Nowhere to put a suitcase. Great...
