I was afraid that his cart might be a bit flimsy, but was pleasantly surprised once I got it together. It looks really nice and is very sturdy. It's the perfect size for my kitchen to keep the microwave on. It was a little challenging to assemble, but if you've out tougher furniture before you'll figure it out. The directions weren't the best, but you'll get it. I did it by myself, but it can see how a second hand would have been helpful.  Great cart.
