We just moved in to a rental house and the kitchen is a giant U shape. We cook a lot and are always in the kitchen so this was not going to work for us. This cart was the perfect addition we needed to make our kitchen functional. It is very sturdy. I was concerned that the part that flips out wouldnt hold much but it does. We leave it open all the time and have our bar stools pushed up to it. If you are good at following directions it is not hard to put together. It is also really nice looking and I love the paper towel holder on the end. The drawers and cabinets are surprisingly good quality. I didnt expect so much from an inexpensive piece of furniture. If you are on the fence, get this one!
I was skeptical at first because this was the least expensive kitchen cart/island fixture I was able to find that fits our needs for added dining space as well as storage in the kitchen. Id say the item was reasonably well packaged from factory to protect from damage in transit, however the packaging is extremely messy. Styrofoam will fill your home, yard and surrounding area as it sheds excessively into tiny little clingy specs that are hard to clean.
Once you get past that nuisance and headache, the unit is quite easy to put together based on the directions included. Just take your time and work on a soft surface to avoid damaging the finish of all panels.
The doors have nice little magnet holders, shelves a sturdy and the drawers are pretty cavernous. One of our drawers came with a broken slider. The company sent me a replacement slider set, but it doesnt match any of the mounting holes on the unit and the outer wall is not thick enough in those areas for me to put new screws in, so I ended up gluing together the original drawer slider instead.
Overall the cart is sturdy, a pleasure to use, pleasure to look at, and has added much needed counter space and storage space to our otherwise standard smallish L shaped kitchen. My only gripe is that the drawers have way too much play in them. If they felt tight the experience of using them would be top notch.
All in all I think this cart is an excellent value and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
Its cute just like picture lots of storage space. Smaller than anticipated. Sturdiness is not the best we added 2x4s on the corners of the table to help it from falling down for the kids safety and we didnt use the wheels we just put 2x6s on the four corners of the bottom. And we bought 24 stools. But looks great.
just moving into an 1938 house and needed additional counter and cabinet space in the kitchen. This island filled both needs, is very attractive and adds to the ambiance of the kitchen.
This island is just what we wanted in every way. It arrived early, went together so easily and it has just the right amount of storage etc that we were hoping for. The top had a scrape down the side that we noticed after we had it all put together, I called and they sent a brand new top to us immediately. I would highly recommend this island.it is worth every cent and the customer service is wonderful!
I got this so that I could have more working area when I cook. It has been great to have. It is very sturdy and well made. I put it together by myself and it was not hard to do at all. At first I was a little apprehensive because there were a lot of parts, but after I laid them all out it was pretty easy. I love it. Lots of extra storage and the fold out leaf is wonderful for when Im doing my canning and baking.

Great addition to an awkwardly shaped kitchen

Great value for the money for added kitchen storage, prep space and dining space

Cute, and lots of storage
