NICE CART!First, let me say the box arrived in perfect condition and the packing was very good. All parts were accounted for so the paperwork thoughtfully supplied by Winsome so you could order missing or damaged parts was not needed. .The cart is the size we were looking for to put in our fifth wheel. It has a pretty decent sized drawer which was important to us since we lacked top drawer space in the fifth wheel. (3"D x19"W X 13"D interior dimensions)I am an experienced woodworker and do it your selfer and this cart went together in about 35-40 minutes with about 35 seconds worth of extra hands from my lady. I checked the fit of the pieces first and then used a light coat of glue when assembling to give the thing extra sturdiness. What is it they say now ? Easy peasy?Every part fit perfectly and the only blemish on anything was a small patch of filler on one side of the towel bar. Wouldn't you know that through inattention I'd manage to install it that side up. No big deal- I can touch it up with a bit of mineral oil.The front doors have just the tiniest bit of rub when you close them but the overall product looks great and with two nice slatted shelves inside, it's very functional. Two small things that I think would improve it (and I will probably do with mine) is installing a reinforcement slat under the middle of the relatively thin drawer bottom and installing better (rubber) casters, though the existing casters roll well enough. I'm just always a little leery of plastic in moving parts and in addition the plastic ones won't give the best traction on the vinyl flooring in our fifth wheel.I looked at a lot of carts before deciding on this one and it was notable how many poor reviews almost all had, including this one.There is no question that damage in shipping, parts that don't fit or poorly finished elements are annoying. But judging from the number of people who submit questions that are clearly already answered in the product description, I have to say that I believe there is a lot of user error going on. If you don't read carefully, you can't blame the product.BTW, with this cart, the pictorial instructions are more than adequate and if you get the correct top and bottom rails connected to the first side, you have the project well in hand. So pay close attention to items F, G. H. and I. Each is different.In summary, we are both very pleased with the appearance and the quality at this price point. I would recommend this cart to anyone looking for a good (sturdy) cart in this size.Two final thoughts - rub a little candle wax on the wooden drawer slides, particularly if your drawer feels a little tight. It will slide more smoothly. - and yes I don't like the allen wrench either but it happened that I didn't have the allen bits for my impact driver - gotta get those.

Easy to assemble. Fits perfectly into our natural decor. I was needing some mobile food prep space, and this is the perfect solution. Nice and stable for cutting and chopping.

I've upgraded to 4 stars. Still everything that follows is accurate. On the plus side, my kit showed none of the defects others have mentioned. While the back panel needed a bit of coaxing, everything went together perfectly. And while it was my screw up with the door magnets, it wouldn't have happened if the instructions were, well, actually instructions.***Based on other reviews, I was worried about how sturdy this would be. Don't worry. It's solid! Yes, the sides, back, and draw bottom are some kind of press board, but they add nothing to strength and are finished nicely to match. The rest of the pieces are solid and quite heavy. I assembled it solo it a bit over an hour. I love it. So why three stars?There are no written instructions, only drawings. Everything is more or less intuitive and it goes together quickly. BUT the parts list does not match the parts, specifically the cross bars. Or rather it does not identify the parts adequately They're almost identical, but one is slightly narrower than the other. It becomes clear when you try to fit the pieces, but it caused a bit of head scratching. You have to think through the process to match and orient the pieces properly.Speaking of which, ensure that the door magnets are INSIDE the cabinet. I screwed this up and was able to remount them, but I had to drill a couple of small pilot holes and it marred the outer finish. A bit of putty will fix it. The problem appeared when I installed the doors - the last thing on the list. Oops! I would have had to disassemble the entire thing to fix it, so putty it is.As for the assembly, they give you an allen wrench. You DO NOT want to assemble this manually. Trust me. You need an electric driver, but use extreme caution. The screws are soft and it's easy to strip them. Orientation must be perfect and you must go in slow, small bursts. But it's worth it. You'll need both a matching allen bit and a phillips bit. If the drill chatters, stop and finish with the allen wrench. This only happened on screws under the desk top as it's difficult to get the angle right.Another required tool not mentioned is a rubber mallet. You'll need it to drive the decorative plugs, but also, and more importantly, you'll need it to seat the back panel into its grooves. Alignment isn't 100% perfect, so it needs a bit of convincing. And speaking of which, seat the back panel then fasten the side to the desk top. If you fasten the cross bars first, it makes everything too rigid. I did this and had to back out the screws a bit so I could wiggle the side into place.So minus one star for the confusing parts list and no really clear indication as to orientation. And minus one star for no instructions - not even a numbered assembly sequence for each step. It's a case of here are the pieces, have at it. Oh, and one last peeve: The pages are printed weird. You can't just flip through them. Maybe they were just stapled together wrong. Still annoying.

Ordered 12 days ago and received it today. Put it together in little over an hour by myself with some supervision by my wife. She always seems to wear her white hard hat when a job needs to be done. Instructions were very easy to follow. Every piece fit just as it should, with heavy duty screws and wooden dowels holding things together. Solid wood top, drawer and front doors. Sides and back are faux wood slider as is drawer bottom. This is a very nice cart and will hold a lot of weight. I bought it to place my 10 gal fish tank on. Would work well in any room especially the kitchen. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

Der Beistellwagen ist aus tollem Holz und wirkt sehr hochwertig. Die einzelnen Teile waren perfekt und sicher verpackt. Da der Artikel aus den USA geliefert wird liegt nur eine englische Beschreibung dabei aber durch die bildliche Erklärung kommt man beim Aufbau gut zurecht.
