I was looking for an "island" to support a large maple butcher block that I refinished.  This cart is very heavy and will work well.  I took off the wheels for more stability, but now I need to add height so it is at counter level.  If I didn't cover the top with butcherblock I wouldn't have been happy with the top that is provided.  It is pieced together with fork-like joints, that are not that obvious actually
This is an excellent kitchen cart -- nice and heavy, good quality.
