I love this cart! It is sturdy and VERY versatile. I originally purchased it to use it as (of all things) a workstation for recording music at home on my laptop. Seriously! And I'll tell you, it is PERFECT for that, because with the two ends locked in place, it has plenty of room for the laptop, plus two monitor speakers. In addition to that application, I've also used it for its "intended" purpose (kitchen island). And most recently, due to a move that required me to buy and assemble about 20 different pieces of furniture, it has proved MOST useful as a work bench. It is a cart of all trades! haha. Can't emphasize enough how awesome this thing is. I've put it through heck and back, and it is holding up beautifully. If you're thinking about getting it, do yourself a favor and pull the trigger. Highly recommended. Oh, and BTW, Wayfair's customer service is 2nd to none. So you'll have that going for you too ;-))
