We intended to use this cart as a replacement for our old microwave cart - but as it's so narrow (18"), during assembly in the center of the kitchen, we realized it worked extremely well as an island, and so we've left it there.  It was incredibly easy to assemble, although we did have to make one small adjustment to the magnets on one of the doors to get them to connect - very easy to do, however, and it only took a moment.

I do agree that it would be nice if the drawers opened up more, but otherwise, it's a great product and we're glad we bought it.
