We needed some additional serving space and this cart meets our needs.  Its construction is good but the finish could be better.  In a few less critical areas the polyurethane finish is thin but I was able to disguise it by positioning the cross pieces to the inside of the cart.  The instructions are pictorial only, which is fine, but several diagrams are too small and it is difficult to see in what position a part or piece should be placed.  It took about 2 hours to assemble and it was necessary to place the pieces in other positions other than what was pictured to do the assembly.  I would recommend this cart for its value.

Pros: Value
Cons: The directions
