I purchased this as a mobile island for additional counter space in my kitchen.  My table and buffet are cherry and my cabinets are a reddish oak and this cart blends perfectly with both.  it wasn't too difficult to put together and feels very sturdy.  came very well packaged...actually, undoing the packaging was the most tedious task.  provides the extra space I needed.  my only complaint is that the side bar for the towel didn't screw in tightly....mine kind of jiggles a bit.  but not a big deal.
