The  material with which the unit is built is very flimsy.  After assembly it seems very fragile.  Had I had more time before the opening of our new home, I would have boxed it up for return.  For now, I shall treat it gingerly and eventually tuck it away in a corner to hold light weight objects.  It is not the kitchen cart I had hoped for.  I shall be most careful when shopping online for any furniture on this site.
