homestyles General Line Kitchen Cart, 45' x 21' x 37', Brown

Firstly, it's very well packaged. Everything is labeled - even the hardware. There is no guessing or trying to figure out which bolt/screw is which. I have assembled thousands of items (I was a lighting vendor for 7 years + I assemble everything that I buy) and the thought that went into packaging this product is the finest I've seen. I assembled it myself and it took 1.5 hrs start to finish. What took the longest, &n was the only down-side to this, was the pilot holes for the drawers isn't very deep. That would have been fine (and my ONLY gripe), but their screws are cheap. Every single piece to this is VERY WELL MADE/SOLID - except the screws. So instead of running a risk and stripping the screws, I drilled their pilot holes a tad deeper and a bit wider. I've read most reviews on this before buying it so yes, it is sturdy but it doesn't weigh a lot - so most won't have a difficult time flipping it over. It looks GREAT in the kitchen and I look forward to organizing my flours and such on it today. I'd buy it again.UPDATE: So I've had this for 1 yr now and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! It is super heavy duty. The photos of the shelves just don't do it justice. They hold a LOT of weight. I haven't had 1 single issue. Drawers slide very smoothly and the wood is in the exact, excellent condition as it was when I first got it. I really want to order another but I don't have the room. This is a remarkable, well thought out piece for a kitchen. 5 stars isn't enough.

Update 12-8-13 - I realized my original review wasn't very helpful, so I thought I would update it. Also, we've been using it just shy of a year now so I feel I have some useful information to add.Overall, we are still extremely happy with this cart, it really helps with the counter space in our small kitchen. For the price, it's hard to find a cart of this size that's better - these types of carts tend to get very expensive with the larger sizes or models with more drawers and shelves. The build quality is quite nice, it has supports in all the right places so it feels very solid, I wouldn't be afraid to stand on it (though I haven't tried that!). After a year of abuse, the finish has held up nicely, and when cleaned looks as good as when I put it together. I like that the surfaces are all flat and right angled, this makes it even easier to clean, though makes it a little less stylish to some I suppose.I do like the openness, despite my complaint in my original review that our cats have taken a liking to climbing in the bottom part. This is not the products fault of course - I knew what I was buying. There is plenty of room to fit all our small kitchen appliances that we use regularly and prefer not to store in a closet or in our basement. This is part of the reason I like the open design, there's no vertical dividers which would limit what you can fit on the shelves. There are two positions for the location of the middle shelf, I kind of wish they would have added a 3rd position between the two as it would give both shelves and ideal height for the items we like to put on it.The wood is all solid (though built from small pieces joined together). The joined wood does not bother me - I would much rather have this than veneered fiber board. The drawers work very nicely and have plenty of space. I do have to make one small complaint - the towel holder only goes on the right side of the unit, for us this makes it useless because that side butts up against our counter, and there's no other arrangement that works for our kitchen. The casters that are supplied are of good quality, though I did have a little bit of fitting issues - they are held in place by friction and they were pretty loose fitting. All I had to do was add a bit of gaffer tape to the metal inserts that go into the bottom of the cart, this gave them enough friction to stay in well.I didn't find assembly to be that difficult, there were a couple of frustrating parts like getting the legs aligned, but overall I am fairly handy - I could see how this could be difficult for some. I did forget one screw which is critical to supporting the drawers, and the only way to add it is to take the whole thing apart again. This was my fault, I checked the instructions and its there, I just missed it.The most important part, we bought this as a gift for my wife who loves to cook, and she absolutely loves it!Original review text --This cart is great. It matches the height of our counters perfectly and its like having extra counter space that you can move around. We use it to store all our small kitchen appliances like our griddler, foreman grill in the middle shelf, then the bottom shelf is perfect for taller items like a toaster, crock pot and rice steamer. We have room for other items if we ever need it. We freed up a lot of counter space now that we have a good place to store them. The only thing I would like to see with this item is to have another model that has the same configuration but then has the bottom shelf enclosed with double cabinet doors. This would help keep pet hair off the items on the bottom shelf, since our cat seems to like to stand on it. I can't fault this item because I knew what I was buying and didn't see another cart with that exact configuration, others I found had smaller shelves or had a divider in the middle. Of all the carts I looked at this one I thought was the best option, maybe I can enclose the bottom myself later.

Solid wood with the exception of the bottom shelf. It was easy to assemble and looks great in our space. We opted to leave off the wheels since we didn’t need it to be mobile.

We needed a table to use for our "snack station". We have a popcorn maker and a shaved ice machine that together weigh over seventy pounds. The problem we were having is that all of the utility tables we looked at (for under $500) were not sturdy enough that we would feel confident in their ability to safely sustain that much weight, especially as they got moved around.We saw the reviews for this table and decided to give it a shot. It looked nice, and we felt like it would be the best available option for the money. I can't tell you how much of an understatement that turned out to be. This table is the real deal.Whatever preconceived notions I had about prefab furniture went out the window when the box arrived. It took my wife and I about 45 minutes to put together, though it would probably not be unrealistic for one person to do it alone. Everything was cut precisely and I didn't have to force anything into position. The pieces all appear to be solid wood and I have never done an assemble where everything fit together as smoothly as this. All of the assembly hardware even included an extra piece in case it's needed later.The drawers have actually tracks and rollers and assemble very nicely. I especially like the fact that the bottoms of the drawers are 1/4" plywood that actually screws into the drawer box instead of a flimsy piece of cardboard like most of the other things in this price-range have.Be aware that it is a pretty heavy piece of furniture, but it rolls around very easily on the wheels. The wheels are very high quality and I have no concerns about their weight-bearing capacity. The wheel-locks are also a very nice feature and they do an excellent job of making the table immobile.

If you are used to setting up IKEA furniture then this shouldn't be a problem as I felt the instructions were pretty straight forward.It feels very sturdy. There is no wobble at all and I locked the wheels so it doesn't move at all in my kitchen. I can easily unlock the wheels for when I want to move it out and clean underneath it.Drawers open/close smoothly.No issues with the wood, no marks or anything like that.My only complaint would be the towel rack has to be on the side you see in the picture, it would have worked better if it was on the other side in my kitchen but I'm not going to leave a lower rating because of that.

Easy to build, but give yourself five or ten minutes to really look it over and think about things before you slap it together. I made the mistake of installing a board with sliders upside down early on in the build process and took 30 minutes to undo the mistake at the very end. It is extremely solid and perfect for hiding "des p'tits je n'sais quois" in the drawers. This is a buy.

Very sturdy and looks really good. Easy to move with lots of space

Definitely great, easy to put together, super quality - would recommend it to anyone...

Well constructed of real wood?
