After searching a handful of sights and reviewing my options I selected this cart b/c of its color (my kitchen cabinets are white), size, the wood block top, open shelves and closed-door cabinet.  Plus, the price was very competitive compared to other similar carts. The cart has greatly improved upon the flow, storage and work space in my kitchen.  My only disappointment w/ the cart is that the drawer is difficult to open - it takes 2 hands and does not open evenly so I do not use it to store often-used items.
