We are very happy with our cart, which we are using as a bed stand / stand up computer table.We are replacing the small casters as my husband wants more height. If you are going to stain or finish in any way, I suggest doing it before you assemble the cart. We have several pieces by this manufacturer and they are all of good quality. The parawood is heavy and hard. Pros: Love the heft of the chopping block, beautiful wood.Cons: You will probably want to buy larger casters.
