Great value for the money for added kitchen storage, prep space and dining space
I was skeptical at first because this was the least expensive kitchen cart/island fixture I was able to find that fits our needs for added dining space as well as storage in the kitchen. I'd say the item was reasonably well packaged from factory to protect from damage in transit, however the packaging is extremely messy. Styrofoam will fill your home, yard and surrounding area as it sheds excessively into tiny little clingy specs that are hard to clean.
Once you get past that nuisance and headache, the unit is quite easy to put together based on the directions included. Just take your time and work on a soft surface to avoid damaging the finish of all panels.
The doors have nice little magnet holders, shelves a sturdy and the drawers are pretty cavernous. One of our drawers came with a broken slider. The company sent me a replacement slider set, but it doesn't match any of the mounting holes on the unit and the outer wall is not thick enough in those areas for me to put new screws in, so I ended up gluing together the original drawer slider instead.
Overall the cart is sturdy, a pleasure to use, pleasure to look at, and has added much needed counter space and storage space to our otherwise standard smallish L shaped kitchen. My only gripe is that the drawers have way too much play in them. If they felt tight the experience of using them would be top notch.
All in all I think this cart is an excellent value and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
