Took a while for my husband to put it together- but I am absolutely thrilled !! It was packaged so well- and every piece has an alphabetical letter on it- so you can find the matching pieces. My kitchen is tiny, so it is so very nice to have the extra counter space- before this, my husband would be on the counter making his lunch for work and I would have to put my cutting board on top of my stove to cut up fruit and get ready for the day. It will be so nice when I have people over to be able to have the extra work space !!!! Have looked at many carts in the past year that I have been searching, but I kept going back to this one. What I don't understand are the people who said there is no back- it is not one continuous piece, but there is a back.
