I love the design of this cart, and I'm glad I bought it, but it is not very functional.  The assembly instructions were pretty good, but the cart came out wobbly.  Because it's not sturdy, I don't use it much for chopping or anything rough that I'd normally want to use a kitchen counter for.  The stainless steel top is gorgeous and very refined, but it is scratching like crazy.  Real stainless steel doesn't scratch like that, so I'm not sure what the problem is.  Of course, the price of this cart is rather low, so you get what you pay for.
