I recently purchased and moved into a new house, love it and it's kitchen.  However, while I have enough cabinet/drawer space, I lack counter space (not enough height for my mixers, not enough prep area).  My kitchen has more than enough space to be considered "eat in" so I looked into getting a kitchen cart or rolling island.

This is one of the first things I came across, not to fancy but very functional and at a very reasonable price.  Assembly isn't hard, although I will say that I did put one of the drawer faces on slightly crooked, it's easy to do so be careful.

This Island has made prepping and cooking a much more pleasant experience for me, and the bottom shelf is great for storing my electric skillet and popcorn popper!

Pros: Easy to assemble, sturdy.
Cons: kinda easy to put the drawer faces on crooked, everyone's experience will vary on this.
