We like this bar cart and it fits our needs however, The assembly part took us 2 hours and it was not very intuitive, plus there were some parts that honestly required two people. The material is wood, but after the first rain it deteriorated very quickly and it does nut come with a cover, so we needed to get one. Lastly, the different wood panels of the cabinet are one inch apart so it is not a completely closed cabinet and things you store inside get dusty and dirty because of that.
