This kitchen cart has been a real space saver in my small kitchen. I had to give up a drawer and bottom cabinet to get a small dishwasher installed in my kitchen and this cart more than made up for the extra space I lost. Provides plenty of room and counter space and is much better quality than a smaller, similar microwave cart I purchased for $150. My boyfriend installed it in about 2 hours and he said it wasn't very hard. This actually makes my kitchen seem more spacious.
