A very nice little cart. Gave it 4 stars vs 5 because I wish it were a bit taller. On the other hand, I guess that says more about my reading ability than the product. Currently it holds my tea pot and teas on top, baskets of the dogs supplements in the center shelf and a kitchen aid mixer on the bottom. It is too low to use for additional prep space but it may work for the mixer. I haven't tried yet. We have the wheels on and they work great. I can easily push it into the dining or living rooms and use it as a beverage/snack cart. We noticed a very small crack in the corner of the top that eventually gave way to losing less than a 1/4 piece of the top layer (not deep) wooden top. It doesn't bother is but it might some.
