It's a really nice looking cart with the stainless steel top. The instructions are all pictures so as long as you don't need written step by step instructions, it's pretty easy to put together. Assembled by myself in about 90 min and it's perfect for the small space I needed it for. The wheels roll nicely and drawer fit in perfectly, no sticking or resistance while opening and closing. I'm very happy with this purchase.
We had issues getting this item delivered but the customer service was great at prompt communication and getting another unit shipped after the other package went MIA. The unit that arrived is gorgeous, very solid, we did use wood glue with the wooden pegs as they were kinda loose in the holes and I believe it will hold up longer with the glue there. The pictures were easy to follow although some of the wood pieces were missing their number label sticker we were able to identify them based on the detailed illustrations on the instructions. After having a previous movable island that felt like it was made of cardboard compared to this one, it's nice that the hinges and drawer slider on this unit are the equivalent of a real cabinet and I expect this will stand the test of time. This is definitely a high quality unit made to be a standout piece of your kitchen decor. Highly recommend spending the money on this one!
Very pleased with this item. It was easy for my son to assemble (he is a contractor so that helps).It looks very elegant in my kitchen and is extremely functional. I like that it has a stainless steel top which makes it easy to clean. I put my knife set and fruit bowl on top and in the inside, there is plenty of room. There are two shelves and I store my dish towels on top and a 7 quart dutch oven in the bottom. I have a lot of dish towels so that fills up the first shelf and then there is plenty of room on the bottom shelf where the dutch oven is, I'm sure I could store more stuff. Another plus is it's very easy to maneuver that it practically glides. The kitchen island sits next to the breakfast table but if I need more cooking space, I move it towards the kitchen without any problem.
Perfect for holding our trash can + extra space. Easy to put together for one person. My only complaint is the wheels don't lock tight. Therefore when a chubby cat jumps on-board we can get a gliding kitty.
this island is a good size for a small kitchen, i used mine for pots and pans. the knife block and spice rack are a very nice plus.? the only issue i am having is the casters. the island does not stay totally in place. i am thinking of removing them and replace with something else if the height does not work.
