This kitchen cart is AWESOME! It's definitely a relatively light gray color. The stainless steel top is very modern. We needed an extra surface for our junk basket and some storage space for dog treats, monthly pet meds, dog bones, and dog collars. This kitchen cart serves its purpose well at our house. The towel bar falls off easily, so we don't hang anything there. The dog magnet is the perfect strength though, and the drawer glides in and out easily. The wheels can lock so the cart won't roll around. I'd call this a medium-quality item and am quite happy with it in our home!
