The cart is exactly what I needed! I wanted a tiny table to store a tall instapot and stand mixer (to keep it off my counter), and also fill in empty gap beside my fridge and doorway. This was it! I put it together myself, even though I am no expert in building or reading directions. The directions were mostly straight forward (a few things could be worked on to dumb it down for people like me), but all in all it went well. I love the way it looks and it’s definitely sturdy!
