This was very easy to assemble and did not take a long time at all. Nice and sturdy frame that holds a good amount of bottles and glassware, depending on how we want to set it up. The item is much lower than anticipated, but it will work well if we decide to use as a traditional cart when entertaining to guests that may be sitting on a couch, chair or floor. Because it is shorter, it is very discreet in the corner of the eating area, and the wheels make it easy to move around the house when desired, and not compromising the important cargo!
