The cart was fairly easy for two people to put together.  It seems very sturdy and built to last, unlike a lot of other carts I've looked at built with cheap, flimsy wood.  This is good, solid wood at a reasonable price.  The only negative comment is that the stainless steel top was easily scratched the first day I used it.  My whole family was over cooking for Thanksgiving and that same day I noticed a circular pattern of scratches in one area.  No one was doing anything out of the ordinary - I think maybe moving a bowl around too much while whisking.  Other than that - great cart!  It's added much needed counter space to my kitchen.
