This is a very heavy, very beautiful kitchen cart/Island. It was easy to put together for a strong person; there are big solid wood pieces to be dealt with. When open, the gateleg extension makes a large working/eating area. I have a small kitchen with no counter space, so this gives me a 4ft x 3ft area of work space. Down below I use one side of the doors to hold my trash can, and the drawers and other door for my baking necessities. It rolls easily, and the casters stay locked. This is a wonderful piece of furniture, and I highly recommend it.
