I waited excitedly for this cart to be back in stock.  It fits perfectly in my space and will work nicely as a storage/extra prep space.  It helps to have an extra person to hold the shelves in place while putting it together.  The shelves are laminate and are fairly true to the color shown in the picture. They will need to be protected from any heat.  My only complaint is the quality of the wire baskets.  They snap together and are held in place with pins.  The pins didn't line up on any of the 3 baskets and took a little finessing to work.  Thankfully the pins are not really visible.  Overall I am pleased with my purchase and the price I paid.
