I've had this kitchen cart for a few weeks now, and I love it. I use it as an island for food prep and storage. I love the fact that it has two drawers where I can keep my cookbooks and measuring spoons. The shelves are very great. I bought some wicker baskets to put on the shelf, and I keep fruit, potatoes and bread in the baskets. The wicker baskets I bought look very nice with the cart. And the construction is very sturdy. The only con is that I wish it had towel racks on both ends, istead of one end. Overall I am very happy and satisfied with this kitchen island cart.
