This cart is made of solid wood and is good quality. I have chemical sensitivities/immune deficiency and called the company and to inquire about formaldehyde or any harmful chemicals. The staff was extremely helpful and took the time to call the company to confirm that no formaldehyde was used. However, my father wanted a white cart and the paint has a strong odor (I don't blame Wayfair staff for this). The top, which has a clear coat, doesn't smell at all. So, I wish I would have ordered one of the stained wood colors, instead. Other than that, the cart is exactly as stated.
