As someone on a budget, I love this cart. I've had it for at least a month now and have entertained with it a few times. Assembly was easy enough on my own. I made a modification by adding wooden tracks to hang wine glasses from and it has really elevated the functionality of the cart (only cost $12 on Amazon). I'm very careful to wipe away any mess quickly - I'm sure the veneer is easily damaged by liquids. It's very stable and I use the bottom shelf to hold more than a dozen full bottles. Wheels move easy but I keep it stationary.
