In these days of the pandemic, you cant just go out and buy furniture. You have to order it and then put it together. The horror! The horror! You wont mind building this cart if youre good at this stuff, but if youre not, run screaming away. I have had the bad luck of moving into a new place mid-pandemic. Some of the diy furniture Ive had to assemble isnt too bad. This one!!! Aaagh!!! Luckily, my son-in-law swooped in to save the day, and the finished cart really is very nice. If you are as bad at this stuff as I am and dont have anyone to help you, dont buy this cart. If you have a heroic son-in-law to bail you out, go for it.
We really like the added extra counter space this adds to our kitchen, and the shelves underneath are great for storing bigger bulk items like extra soda.
The drawer however is absolute crap. It's too shallow in height and length to hold anything but some dish towels. There isn't any legitimate slider mechanism, just wood sliding on wood with a couple dowels used to keep it from pulling out all the way.
The handle is also useless. The rod just sits loosely in the end holders and we've occasionally bumped it and the rod falls out. Don't buy this if you plan to move it around a lot.
If you don't factor the drawer and handle into things, this is a great cart. I kinda wish I would have known, i'd have not bothered to install those things and made it a bit cleaner looking.
When the cart arrived there were missing parts. I immediately emailed the NSdirect Store who manufactured this cart. They replied and within a week the 3 missing parts arrived. I will always put this company at the top. Was quite easy to assemble.
Instructions were very easy to follow. The materials are very sturdy and came together nicely. I rolled it over to its intended location with much ease. I recommend it to anyone. The packaging was very secure, strong, and well organized. Everything was well protected, no damages nor dings.
It looks as advertised but has many flaws. 2 of the Joint connector nuts/locks broke during assembly with minimal torque. No extra hardware pieces are provided and no contact info is available to see if replacements can be sent. Quality is low. Pre-drilled holes are too big and dont fit hardware snuggly. The provided wrench doesnt fit/is too small for the bolt its supposed to be used with. Blemishes in product are very obvious. The drawer doesnt slide well at all.
Unfortunately this arrived defective and I had to return it. I was not pleased with color of the cart and the top was not stained evenly. Very disappointed.
I love the finished product, but the assembly was a alittle hard. But once I got it together the moveable Island is Sturdy and I like the wheels it makes so easy to move around.
This was a pain in the butt to assemble by myself. It took me 3 hours. The directions are just pictures so trying to decipher which direction something is supposed to be facing is a challenge. At one point I had to take something apart and flip it around. Its fairly sturdy but I wish the spaces between the shelves were a little taller to fit small kitchen appliances like my InstantPot.
We love this kitchen cart! It is beautiful, for sure. It did take 2 of us, 2 hours to build, with just a few hiccups. Where it says to put the pegs in for the drawer stopper, don't put those in til the very end, or at all. We don't use them, we know where it opens too and just go with that. Using them makes the drawer much shorter. If you have trouble seeing, we used a head lamp as well HA! It was a fun project and we love it!
When I first opened the box I was impressed by the packaging. It was amazing which is why I was so surprised to find this item completely broken and unusable. I didn't even get to step 1. Whoever assembled the main pieces did a horrible job. Not worth $150. Main top broken in half. Cheap junk. Save your money.

A nice sturdy cart but really a pain to build

Solid for the shelf space, the drawer is terrible though
We really like the added extra counter space this adds to our kitchen, and the shelves underneath are great for storing bigger bulk items like extra soda. The drawer however is absolute crap.

the NSdirect Store Excellent product and company to buy from

Highly Recommended

Not worth the money. Hardware breaks easily during assembly.

If box is torn, the contents will probably be defective.
Unfortunately this arrived defective and I had to return it. I was not pleased with color of the cart and the top was not stained evenly. Very disappointed.
Assembly about a 3 out of 5, Finished product excellent
I love the finished product, but the assembly was a alittle hard. But once I got it together the moveable Island is Sturdy and I like the wheels it makes so easy to move around.
Slow and steady and lots of patience...

Keep your money and peice of mind.
