This is a great quality cart. The solid wood top is "Real wood" There is no thin grade of any material. We just redid or kitchen & 2 carts help fill a space where we could have added more cabinets & counters for $300/Ft X's 5 feet, you do the math. Both my wife & I are chefs as well & this is pro quality stuff.

Pros: Looks good, rolls great, assembly was easy enough, and it does exactly what it's supposed to.

Cons: Nothing major. If I *had* to choose something, it would be the fact the top isn't actually attached to the frame (see below).

After using this cart for a couple of months I'm happy to report it works exactly as advertised. I am particularly pleased with the quality of the block on top (it's a nice wood cutting block) and the casters (aka wheels) roll very easily.

The only con I can think of is that the wooden block on top isn't actually bolted or screwed to the frame. Instead, there are holes in the bottom of the block that slide over the four posts on the frame. It's not a big deal because I never try to lift the car and/or use it in such a way that the top needs to be secured. However, having said all of that, the car might feel a little more sturdy if the top were bolted.

A little sturdier design would be nice for rolling over the metal at the bottom of the door frame from my kitchen to my hallway...but it's not necessary. I like to push the cart into the living room on occasion (serving snacks to a group) and that's the only time I think "What if this top comes loose?" Then I remember that's not going to happen with all the stuff on top holding it down.

Like I said, a minor complaint.

Incidentally, if you're like me you've seen a cart that looks an awful lot like this one at the Container Store. The Container Store model is almost identical, but it costs about twice as much. Yet one more reason to shop on Amazon.

I purchased this cart several years ago at Home Depot for about the same price. When I sold my house the new owner requeted it, I've missed it so much and am thrilled to find it here. It's top is real wood and very large, perfect for a serving area. I highly reccommend and I'm going to buy it again!

This is very good product overall for the price. Nice solid wood top. Instructions clear to put together, but it was not that easy to make it stable, took some hammering. And, the wooden top was sort of warped and wouldn't sit right, but with a little paper wadded up and inserted into the space it balanced out nicely. I am happy with the product, rolls nicely, has good smooth feel, can make it stay in one place easily and it serves its purpose. I would recommend it to a friend.

The HEAVY-Duty cart arrived today. Beautiful, shiny and substantial. The wooden butcher-block is thick and perfect. Locking casters roll well and the chrome legs are handsome. Well worth the money spent and a "great look" in my all new kitchen. I have many uses for this item.

While the Cart is excellent quality and priced very well. It was missing a few parts. But, i can fix it. Bought it for extra space when cooking in my kitchen, and be able to move it out of the kitchen when not in use. Works very well. Was shipped fast.
