This cart is gorgeous, especially for the price. It was fairly easy to assemble (my fiance assembled it in less time than it took me to make dinner) and is a great size for some extra prepping space. The wheels do not move super easily, but I actually prefer it this way because I can cut/etc on it without it rolling around (thee wheels do not have locks). As some other reviews mentioned, the wood is not "real", but it is extremely difficult to tell. Overall, I would say this is a great, sturdy, very aesthetic piece of furniture that functions exactly as it should.
