The product was more sturdy than I expected. It will hold up to 600 pounds!! It is good looking and super strong. The butcher block is beautiful and the top is deeper than it looks in the photo. I did not put in the middle shelf so that I could put my trash can on the bottom shelf. It works perfectly to have more counter space and get the trash can off the floor. I am delighted with this cart. For what I paid it is an extraordinary value. I would recommend it to anyone who wants extra counter top height space in their kitchen.
