2-Toned Kitchen Cart, Espresso

1. InstructionsAssembly will require a lot of patience and configuration. Some part assembly seems out of order. Luckily I have small hands and can reach. My husband wouldn’t have been so lucky.2. PartsCheaply made and fragile. So handle and assemble with care. One of the backboards arrived damaged. See picture. Unable to place the inner shelf, as the measurements of the Wood Panels on both sides are off and not aligned. Wouldn’t try to drill to place my own pin shelf. The wood would split.If you can keep the door closed and push it against a wall, nice to look at. More for decorative use then functionality, as it Isn’t very sturdy.

The instructions are very bad; they are just photos and some of them are mirrored/incorrect. Two key steps are illustrated incorrectly. One step is completely missing.The parts, unlike most other assemble at home items, do not have any stickers or makings identifying what piece they are, despite having letter designations in the instruction packet. The illustrations are poor and it took a lot longer than usual to get everything laid out.Some connections that should be doweled use long allen head screws in very tight places. Couple that with the incorrect instructions and you will have to undo and redo those connections three times during assembly. Not fun.Quality wise, it is a weird hodgepodge of really solid feeling pieces of wood and stuff that you feel like sneezing on will break. I could not install the middle shelf in the cabinet portion because the slat that came with it either broke loose or would not assemble properly - and even if it did, the connection is so weak it would not hold any weight. I wound up taking a trim nail and nailing it in to the back as an extra support for the slat that the middle shelf sits on. The magnet stopper for the door was loose and a screw fell out the first time I used it. Easy fix, but annoying. The drawer is flimsy and very poor quality. It appears to have a stopper on it that does nothing, and angles about 30 degrees down when opened past about 25%.It looks very nice and feel solid to use. I moved my cutting board to it and chopped meat and veggies tonight. It’s the perfect height for standard counter tops and stoves. Storage in the side without the door is solid with nice metal dowels.Overall I am not very satisfied, but not incredibly disappointed either. I have a small house and wanted a little more counter space for food prep. The rest of it was basically just extra features. As above, it looks nice and feels solid to use. I would not want to count on it as a main storage piece though; it just feels too cheap aside from the ‘main structure’ if that makes any sense.Also, the packaging is terrible. TONS of paper and a few pieces of styrofoam. It was like opening Christmas presents that created more and more work with every one. Made a huge mess; stuffed it all back in the box and it was pretty full.Would I recommend it to someone else? Depends on what they want to use it for. As extra space for food prep or maybe a cafe/coffee bar, it would be fine. As storage for anything heavy like food or glassware, no I would not. If I did recommend it I would warn them about assembly first.

The island/cabinet is well made, however, is not very sturdy, the wheels they could be bigger and with rubber for a smoother motion. The countertop is not s a cutting board. Overall it’s a nice cabinet and with an affordable price.

Expect some minor imperfections, such as scuffs or chips in the material. It was easy to put together, just make sure to follow the order of the directions, because there's a reason for it to go in that order. It's not incredibly sturdy, but for the price it is what you might expect. I'm very happy with it. Serves its purpose for sure

I am livid. It was missing a whole entire major piece of furniture! And a piece was damaged!

It is a decent cabinet want you figure out a how to assemble it the directions are very sketchy part are not labeled

This product is great in quality, however no pieces are labeled and images does not match with pictures. My husband and I had to figure out how to assemble through trial and error. Huge inconvenience! We were 90% through of what we thought was the finish product to have to tear it back down and reassemble again. Save your consumers time and label the freaking pieces!!!

Wasnt the easiest to put together but wasn’t terribly hard, either. Either way, it was worth it. The cart looks great
