This cart is very high quality and quite sturdy.  It goes well in my kitchen and provides me with plenty of exra counter space to prepare and serve my meals.   The shelves provide great space to store items I want to access quickly, yet keep off my counter. A friend was over when it as delivered and he whipped it together in 15 minutes.  I dont think I could have built it quite that fast, but it was not at all dificult.   I recommend this cart highly.  I don't know what I did without it.
