I've had this cart for two years and through two moves and three small (~400 sq ft) apartments, and this piece has always made the cut while many of my pieces have gotten the axe. Quality construction (especially the wheels) makes it functional and the finishes are tasteful. Love that I can wheel it around if need be, but usually it finds a home in my kitchen and stays there. It has acted as my only counter space (seriously, I've lived in some small apartments), a kitchen island/pantry storage, and as a coffee station - I've always found a use for it and none of my kitchens would have been as functional without it!
