I wanted a wood (not particle board with laminate) unit that could house my stereo components and fit into my eclectic decor.  This kitchen cart, which obviously isn't in my kitchen. is exactly what I had envisioned...simple lines, pleasing to look at and mobile.  It was easy to assemble by myself and the drawers provide storage for the remotes (receiver and CD changer).  It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but less than half the price (and weight) of the only real wood audio component cabinet I actually liked.  Now that it's assembled and the components are in place I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to purchase and re-purpose this kitchen cart.
