I NEEDED something for my kitchen that is still being updated and has a severe lack of both counter and storage space. I chose this cart because it has shelves, a decent counter top, and wheels to put it where I need it. My husband wasn't too keen on the idea, so I put this together completely solo using 2 screwdrivers in about 90 minutes. It probably would have gone faster if I had help, but we are both stubborn arses, so what can you do. The instructions were all pictures, super easy to follow, and extra hardware pieces were put in, which came in handy for me as I lost one in the process. There was one piece that had a small chunk out of it that was painted over factory after the fact (second picture), but that was on the inside once the cart was assembled and completely unnoticeable. As you can see, it has just enough room for my larger microwave and my Foodi, which is exactly what I wanted. I put both brake wheels on the front in this configuration, and I haven't had an issue with any unnecessary movement. I now have a place to keep all my Ninja gear and accessories, as well as a place for the microwave that doesn't involve some weird acrobatics to open the door, so it works for us very well. And since it is mobile, when the kitchen is (finally) finished, I plan to move it to my dining area for some extra counter space when needed out there.
Works well in our tiny space
