I love this kitchen cart. I have a very small kitchen and not room enough to do prep work. This cart solved my problem. Putting it together was fairly easy. It's strong, sturdy, and looks great.  I didn't want a cart to be closed up with doors and drawers; it would make the kitchen too "closed in". The hooks I left off as I have no need for them. This was a great buy for the money. Very happy with it.
