Note that the handles are NOT for paper towels, but I didn't want that feature anyway. This island cart is about 30 pounds heavier than the cheaper versions and even most of the more expensive island carts. One reason is there is more wood including the back panel (even though it is thin, it is actual wood). Most carts that cost less than $900 have a cardboard back panel like those very cheap bookshelves. This cart really does look like a nice piece of furniture.I love this cart, but it is mildly flawed. I’d like to give you the opportunity to decide if those flaws are worth living with, just in case your expectations are super high.To start, I do want to say that this car was like $200 or something when I bought it, whereas comparable ones from other places, such as ikea, we’re $600+. Ya girl ain’t got that kind of scratch lyin’ around right now, so this was the obvious choice. But you also get what you pay for.Setup: this is NOT a one person job. I LOVE putting together flat pack furniture, and there’s something about using the visual diagrams for assembly that really clicks with me. That said, I’ve put together a lottttttt of flat pack as a result. Not just my own, but friend and places of employ have found out about my love and happily toss it to me to take care of.The way this is meant to be set up, there are some times where you have to manipulate screws and locks in ways that could only be done by a two person team. So, for four or so steps, you will need an extra set of hands. I’d say that it took maybe two hours total to set up, and that included unboxing, stubbornly attempting to put it together on my own for a while, and later realizing that there’s a part in the instructions that LIED and having to redo it.Speaking of, the diagram for the drawers is messed up. It essentially tells you to put the sides on incorrectly, so when you go to slide the drawers into their slots, you’ll feel like you’re going crazy when it doesn’t work. Originally, I was going to give you the best way to tell if you’d done it correctly or not, but I set this up a couple months ago and have forgotten my own advice. Sorry.QUALITY/CONSTRUCTION: overall, it’s actually surprisingly sturdy. But there are a couple of noticeable flaws, like one of the doors having gap where two pieces of material weren’t fused together properly. Also, the doors actually don’t line up with one another and there’s literally nothing you can do about it, so one door will be slightly higher than it’s partner, but they’ll at least both still close. Also, because the doors are “attached” by... hmmm... having some metal pegs slid into a metal hinge but not otherwise permanently secured, if you’re a total dunce you can accidentally detach said doors and spend a few irritating minutes attempting to line up the pegs and holes again.Also, I don’t know how I missed this when purchasing it, but the whole thing is much thinner than I expected. While looking at measurements, I spent so much time making sure that I found a pice with the correct length to fit my space, I overlooked the depth. The interior capacity is about the depth of the long side of a 2 liter soda bottle. I was planning to store all of my lesser-used kitchen machinery and all my Tupperware inside, but it’s not quite as roomy as expected. Still, INCREDIBLY useful.OVERALL: for a much more affordable price than anything else I was looking at, this has brought me much joy. It’s super super sturdy, has given me a better way to organize certain objects as well as give me additional storage and counter space, and it looks great! ... as long as you don’t get too up close and personal with the details.wife loves it .I bought this kitchen island for it's design and extra storage capacity. I am thoroughly satisfied with the unit.Bought one for myself and three months later bought another one for my daughter. Assembled myself, very easy, just have a clean flat surface, place every out in order and have patience:)We’ve had them over two years now and they still look great after tons of use. No loose hinges, doors, backing etc. Great product for the price!It's too early for me to rate how it does long term, so this is mostly on the initial building and storage of the unit.To start, I assembled this myself and with no power tools. Not counting the time it took to unpack everything and check everything was there (everything was accounted for) it took me about 4 and a half hours to put together. Some steps early on would have been easier with another person, but still doable alone.With the steps, I initially was confused and didn't know what was with the diagram before I realized they actually have you building it upside down to start. Once I realized that, it went a lot easier. The only real hitch was the last step where you put the top on and turn the cam locks. While the ones on the far left and far right worked, the two in the middle refused to go down enough to lock in. I tried to put heavy objects on it to push it down, even flipped it back over to see if that'd push them up, etc. but nothing worked, they just refused to be completely flush. Eventually gave up and with the others working, figured that'd at least keep it on.I also ran into a similar issue many others had with the doors: there's one door that's clearly not level and leaves a small gap below it, but it's a minor issue for me. The bigger concern are the "locking" wheels: 2 of them are supposed to lock but even when you do so, the cart can still roll around a bit, which is rather annoying.Storage wise, I love it for the most part. It holds all my instant pot stuff, dishes, bowls, some pots and pans, and bakeware. Only downside is, due to how my bakeware is shaped, it can't fully utilize the space because one piece has to be put in diagonally to fit in the cabinet. I kind of wish there was a narrow vertical space where I could store things like that easily. The drawers are also not very deep but as I'm only using them to store large cooking utensils and dish towels, that doesn't bother me too much.Overall, for the price, it's great! We'll see if it stands up long term and will update if that changes.The quality is good but not perfect. One of the doors was damaged but it wasn't big issue.It's not easy to assembled it together and in need of two people in most of the process. Took us about 2 hours to put together.The result is beautiful and it's a great solution for small apartments when you need more storage room and to separate the kitchen from the living room.We got the product on sale for $350 and I think it's a great price for this. The regular price is too much in my opinion and if you have the time and patient, wait until it's on sale.The package arrived quickly. I have to say I am more than impressed with the quality of the unit and all the parts. The wheels lock but I think a lock on each wheel would've been more convenient. Either way, it's pretty heavy so it doesn't really move on its own. The assembling instructions were fairly clear and took about 2 hours to build.Overall, very happy with the unit, it looks great as an island in our kitchen.This is a very attractive sturdy piece. Took about 2 hours to put together but was simple - very good clear directions. Ass,bled similar to an IKEA piece but much higher qualityOne of the main boards did not have ANY holes in it so I had to make my own. Other than that I am happy with the cart. Looks great and is going to work out fine.Very good quality kitchen island. It has good space, sturdy. Easy to move. Recommend this product to everyone looking for kitchen island.
