I purchased this prep station for my yard. It is the nicest prep table I have seen for the price. it is durable while still nice looking. Delivery was on time.I did have a problem that some parts were missing from the box but they were replaced free of charge from the merchant.

It is a great product for the price. The prep station has a good storage capacity and is easy to move around our deck because of the wheels. It was easy to put together too.

Despite what other reviewers say, this patio preparation table is difficult to assemble. It is not complicated but it takes a lot of pushing, squeezing, pounding to put the parts together - not for the faint of heart. It took my wife and I about 1 1/2 hours to assemble it. In the process we used several screwdrivers, a small hammer and hair dryer. A hair dryer? Yep. The plastic was warped and difficult to handle. By warming it up it made it possible to get the pieces together. The screw driver was not for screws but for prying and digging to get things to fit. The hammer finished the job.

My suggestion is to allow the unassembled table to warm up before assembling. Ours was delivered in cold weather and had been on the UPS delivery truck all day. We started to assemble the next morning but it still was not warm enough. Several pieces were warped which made it difficult.

Now that it is together it is fine.

I ordered this from Amazon and received in two days just in time for a family get together. It was very easy to put together and took about 10 minutes to complete. The cabinet is roomy and the storage tray holds alot. The fold down trays are sturdy and convenient. The Suncast deck items are surely made well and are moderately priced. With Amazon's free shipping this item was a bargain.

This cart is handy to use anywhere - outside, craft room, garage. It is sturdy and easy to put together. It rolls nicely and the doors stay shut.

The Suncast Prep Station is just what I had been looking for to use on my deck. I keep my outside dishes, silverware, and anything I use for barbequing in it. It is very sturdy, easy to move around, and has plenty of room to store items. The dropdown leaf counter top is a definite plus. I use it for preparing my bbq but would also be great to use for gardening. I love it. The free shipping was also great and it arrived within 3 days.

Easy to assemble and pretty sturdy. It keeps the contents dry even in a hard downpour. The contact paper on the top & shelves is cheesy looking and has already started to curl on the edges. It would have been better-made with just the brown plastic finish. Definitely not a showpiece.

After reading reviews, the Suncast DCP2000 prep station was a huge disappointment. The cabinet was hard to put together and impossible to take apart to return. We ended up cracking panels to do it. Looked very plasticy and cheap and door did not work well. The fine print said not to leave it outside in below freezing temperatures because it might compromise the material. We live in New Hampshire and this was for using with our grill (which we use year round) so it wouldn't have worked for that reason even if we had liked it. That information should be in their online description.

I received the Prep Station very quickly and was eager to assemble it. Upon opening the carton, it was obvious that I had received a previously returned item and there was no assembly instructions included.

I was able to figure out rather easily the snap together assembly but could see that someone had previously assembled the two side panels, the rear panel and the bottom piece. At that point I assume it was not the size they expected and stopped any further assembly since the remaining components were `factory fresh'.

Upon full assembly, I was disappointed in the doors being very difficult to open and close securely and overall the unit appears rather flimsy. Only time will tell how it will hold up. I believe that for the price I paid, I probably could have found a more sturdy type of cabinet that would be more stable.

This is a great little cabinet. It has a lot of space inside (quite impressive, tall and deep) and the extra space on top is a great bonus...you can even slide 2 barstools up to it for extra dining space. It was a little tricky to put together, just follow the directions carefully and it's fine. It has a nice look and everything stays neat and dry on my deck, where it experiences high winds with plenty of rain. The price is great, the casters work wonderfully on my lumpy bumpy deck, and is a quality product. The door is a wee bit persnickity as some posters have mentioned - just be intentional about opening and closing and it will stay fine - this is the only factor (and it's minor) that kept me from giving it 5 stars. Highly recommend, and I wish I had it long ago.
