I am very pleased with the quality and look of the cart. I chose the natural top to blend with cabinets and white to sit by a large window. It is a bit of a challenge to assemble so I got help and it worked fine.
Great product, gave much needed extra storage. Fairly easy to assemble. The only issue was one of the drawers does not sit quite right, however, not sure if this is a flaw in the product or the builder : ) Again beautiful piece.
We have a very small kitchen counter in our office. We love to eat but didn't have room to make anything. So we purchased this kitchen cart and everyone is in love. We now have a toaster, griddle and small rice cooker on the cart counter. Also we were able to store our bottled water and paper towels. The kitchen finally functions and the best part is the cart top is wood. So happy we bought this. Oh and others are buying for their homes.
First off: assembly. The directions say it takes an hour and a half. Maybe if you're a carpenter. It took me three hours: mostly because the directions try to pack too many steps into one step per page, so be careful there. Notice EVERY LITTLE STEP within the one step so you won't find yourself undoing work you struggled to complete in the first place.
Secondly: the top surface of the island is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. It's a faux stainless steel that streaks and looks gross. Worst than that, the base of the surface (that connects to the island itself) is made out of this weird plastic product that has this perpetual chemical smell (somewhat between the smell of a cheap Barbie doll hair that has been melted and faint aroma of fingernail polish remover). Every time I walk into the house or by the island, I can smell it and it makes my nose burn just a bit. It makes me wonder what I'm inhaling on a daily basis.
If it wasn't so hard to disassemble and repackage, I would send it back. My only saving grace is that I hope to be moving soon and I will just leave it, but not worth the money or effort to put it together. If you want a quality piece in your kitchen, keep looking.
We put this together very quickly using a screwdriver and the enclosed hex tool. All instructions and hardware were included, the item was packaged very well and there are no imperfections that I could find. It allows a good deal of storage room and fit nicely in my small kitchen. Excellent value for the money and better quality than I expected.
First off, I actually really like this. It says stainless steel top, ACTUALLY means, paper thin metal that looks stainless steel. Thinnest metal Ive seen. Even the coffee pot bends it sitting on it…
Anyways, it was easily to assemble Im not sure how many people found it difficult. The step by step was easier than day, it does take some time. So does any furniture putting together. Everything turned out great. The problem is, they could have made this way stronger. The top of this is like a thin metal that bends. Over time I can see it bending. My finger can bend it just by putting a little force on it. Its more of a stainless steal coating on a thin piece of metal. Hardly thicker than paper. We couldnt put any thing on top of it because it bends inwards. Just be careful what youre putting on top. Even our Ninja coffee pot is almost too heavy.

Perfect for small kitchens
Choo choo cart is exactly what I needed for a small kitchen. Color choices go with any decor.
Awesome overall!
This turned out great! I love the stainless steel top and how pretty it looks. Not the most sturdy cart ever, but it does the job quite well.
Assemble
The assembling part was a challenge but its worth it. Some of the screws werent long enough so I had to go by some

Love it
I loved …. If you follow the steps and the letters it is not difficult to put together and the quality is very good…. I loved it… I recommend it.
It's alright but disappointing
