In my limited experience, the whitmoor metal shelving is on par with metro at a much lower price-point. This cart is sturdy and works quite well for me except for one flaw I unfortunately found.

It was too late by the time I found out that my cart, with approximately 40lbs of weight on it, left tracks all over my hardwood. Upon inspection, it was easy to see that the wheels have a small lip on the inside of them from coming out of a mold. So instead of having an inch surface distributing the weight they had a fraction of an inch lip taking the weight and digging down into my floor. This was certainly unexpected and my new flooring is certainly now flawed to the visible eye.

While I could possibly try to sand down the lip, I now just use my cart as a stand instead. Live, learn, share.

These carts and shelving units are the best I've ever seen. They are flexible in shelf height, a minimum of one inch between, and it is very easy to reposition shelves after months of use... I have several shelf units and two carts and I plan on purchasing more. For those of you unfamiliar, not a better purchase can be made. Some units even come with wheels for even more flexibility.

I bought a few different styles of this line of carts and find them very useful and adaptable for uses in rooms other than the Kitchen. They are easy to assemble and the shelf placement (at your desired height) was a pleasant surprise. They are sturdy and reasonably priced (except for the steep shipping prices that you cannot combine if you want to buy more than one). I would recommend them to anyone who values economy of space and has a need for Portability and Mobility in their Home and Workspace.

Important Note: If you plan to set a microwave oven on this, you might want to purchase a same-size cutting board to set it on, so that the door doesn't jam when you open it.

This is just what I needed for a narrow space in my pantry. Putting it together was a breeze and it is really sturdy. It holds all our party stuff...paper plates, napkins, papercups, tableclothes, favors, big bowls and bottles of soda and wine on the bottom. Perfect!

This cart cost me only around $29 on sale, and it's perfect for my microwave oven on top and my toaster oven in the middle. Some say you can turn the top rack upside down to accommodate a microwave oven without having the door hit the sides of the shelf. This is not true. The cart is designed for each shelf to be placed with the correct side up, otherwise it would just rest insecurely. I did easily resolve the problem with the microwave door by putting a cork coaster under each of the microwave's front two feet. Now it opens perfectly.

This cart is not quite as sturdy as others say. On a hard kitchen floor, you can lock two of the four castors, but this doesn't help. Even if locked, the cart can just slide around on the hard floor, like when you push buttons on the microwave. I have it pushed against the wall, and that helps, but it still shakes when I press microwave buttons.

For the price I think it's perfect for my kitchen. It is sturdy, just not quite as sturdy as other reviewers are raving about.

I bought and received two of these for use in my home office. I had intended on putting printers, scanner/fax/computers on these shelving units. These are sturdy enough for these purposes, but they are definitely more flimsy than the big units found at costco or other places. The wheels do not provide great confidence in being able to sustain heavier weights without having the metal dowel break through the light plastic.

A serious flaw in the design must be noted. While most wire shelves have the supporting web/framework (sides) on the bottom of the rack, these were welded so that the shelves create a slight box effect. This means the top of the shelves are NOT flat/straight across. The lip that protrudes up creates for a weird balancing act when placing heavier items that aren't long/wide enough to go over both sides. So if you put something long (front/back), the item would rest only on the front metal lip and the back metal lip creating two serious stress points. only if the item is small enough to reside within the front/back or sides, would you be able to spread the weight out amongst all the lateral runs of wire.

This was purchased to be used as a microwave cart. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and it was reasonably priced, which made me a little hesitant because I thought it might be flimsy.

It isn't flimsy. It goes together quickly and easily and I am impressed with how sturdy it is. My microwave is 19.5" W x 10.5" H x 14" deep and fits perfectly on top.

There is a little 1" rim on each shelf and the shelves can be placed with the rim up or down.

I am very satisfied with this little cart - it helped me free up quite a bit of cupboard space in my tiny kitchen.

This cart would work fine for a home. The rolling function is the most disappointing. It is made of quality materials except for the rollers. They are not smooth. It was easy to assemble.

This really is a nice little cart. The only problem is that one of the casters broke the very first time I used it, and I am looking for some more sturdy casters to replace them.
