This was extremely well-packed and so arrived with no damage of any sort. It took patience to put together, as there are many pieces while the directions and diagrams are not as clear as they should be. Once assembled, though, it is strong, sturdy and stable. I am sorry the shelves and drawer are particleboard, but that is to be expected in something this modestly-priced. Altogether I am very pleased with this item. It looks good, and it nicely holds the microwave, some pots and pans, and plenty of kitchen odds and ends while having a "small footprint". I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to add useful storage / work space to a smallish kitchen at a very reasonable cost.

Looks good, works well, but knocked off a star because of the particle-board shelves, and the instructions are laughably lacking -- just the back and front of a single piece of paper. Here are some handy tips they leave out:

-- Put the wheel casters on first, because you have to hammer them on.
-- You can put the two wire grids on last because they're bendable.
-- The holes on the bottom of the second shelf aren't aligned right, so you need to drill two correct ones.
-- One of the shelves is a tiny bit less wide as the others, and that's the one you use for the pull-out third shelf.

Oh, and the power strip only has ungrounded sockets (two prongs), so to plug in a microwave, you'll need a 3-prong grounded adapter. Picked one up at Home Depot for under a buck, though I'm sure there are some on Amazon.

Nice item, but bit of a hassle to assemble.

The cart came in a timely manner. I was not happy that the power strip was not grounded. I therefore had to plug the Microwave into the outlet anyway. The instructions were not real clear and I had trouble screwing in the upper shelves but I put it together and it is working fine.

We have this now over a year and my wife noticed that the wheels are smashed from the weight we placed on it. We received it with some damaged parts twice in a row. Customer service was excellent and helped very quickly to send replacement parts. To make this car little bit better I installed better power strip on it so we have more power outlets and also grounded with GFCI protection. It works well except the wheels.

I have a small kitchen with limited counter space. This product gives me the extra room I need and is good looking too! The power outlet on the unit is also fabulous.

I was pretty underwhelmed with this once it was all put together. Most of the pieces seem chincy (the black grates on the side, for example, are completely flexible where I thought they would be solid.)The handle on the front of the cart screws in crooked, and some of the metal frame was dinged up from shipping. It really just looks cheap, especially for the price. But, since my goal was to create more storage in my too small kitchen, it did accomplish that. Cheap fix until we can afford to upgrade the kitchen, but still disappointed in the overall look and quality of this piece.
