This bar cart is very easy to assemble.  I did it myself in about 15 minutes.  The parts are designed to fit together very precisely so the cart is stable and sturdy.  Everything was packed very securely so the glass shelves were protected from damage.  I chose to use the cart to display plants in my sunroom but it would also be great as a bar cart and I may use it as such in the future.  Whatever the use, this cart is very attractive and impressive.
