  Beautiful to Look At, But Not Practical for Everyday Family Use

  At first glance, this rolling kitchen cart looks beautiful and seems like the perfect solution for a small kitchen. I was excited because, as a busy mom, I'm always looking for furniture that helps me stay organized while making the space look nice.Unfortunately, the assembly process was frustrating. The instructions aren't very clear, so make sure you have plenty of time and patience before you start. The materials also feel very inexpensive. Several of the pieces had noticeable manufacturing defects, so they never fit together as securely as they should have.Once I finally finished putting it together, I realized that it's much more decorative than functional. The drawers don't open all the way, the shelves don't hold as much weight as I expected, and the overall construction doesn't feel sturdy enough for everyday kitchen use.For a family home, I need furniture that can handle daily life, This cart looks nice, but it's better suited as a decorative accent with a few lightweight items on display rather than as a hardworking storage solution.If your goal is simply to add a stylish touch to a room, it may work well. But if you're hoping it will solve your kitchen storage problems or stand up to everyday use, I think you'll be disappointed in my opinion

  Great buy!!!

  Beautiful piece! Rich green color, the hardware looks very complimentary. Tons of storage! Very sturdy. Took 2 people a little over 90 minutes to assemble, but worth it

  I guess its worth its money value

  I love the aftermath, but the middle of mathing out the instructions, everything seemed upside down. The instructions were very small, I could not tell if the boards have to be upward or downward. I had to unscrew things many times to flip it around. This was easily a 5 hour build alone. Hated the build. Love the afterlook.

  Easy Assembly

  Give it a chance

  The assembly is terrible, but give it a chance. The assembly instructions are not the greatest. I would recommend using a little more stickers to orient us to the rails for drawers. I feel like the order of the assembly could be better. There are less H screws than required. I had a small screw set so was able to replace missing screws. The forest green is beautiful, but be sure to assemble on a towel or provided styrofoam as it can scratch easily on hardwood floors. I could see a lot of people getting frustrated with this one. Quality control could do better. It ended up turning out great

  More Tape Than a Crime Scene, More Frustration Than a Tax Audit!

  ⭐☆☆☆☆If assembling furniture were an Olympic sport, this company would be banned for crimes against humanity.The box showed up looking like it had survived a police raid. It was wrapped in so much tape I honestly thought I was opening evidence from a serial killer's basement or a container of toxic waste.Then the fun began.The instructions are spectacularly useless. Whoever wrote them clearly never assembled this cart. Parts don't line up, steps are missing, diagrams make absolutely no sense, and there are mystery pieces left over that make you question your own sanity.I searched for a video because the instructions were that bad. The only one I found wasn't even for this model. Perfect.The instructions also say to contact customer service if you need help. Sure...if you enjoy waiting up to 48 hours for a reply while your house looks like a furniture explosion. Oh, and the website they printed on the instruction sheet? It doesn't even exist. You literally cannot make this stuff up.Assembly is advertised like one person can handle it. Unless you have four arms and telekinetic abilities, you need another human. Several steps are nearly impossible by yourself because nothing stays where it's supposed to.Speaking of staying where it's supposed to...the parts don't. Holes don't line up, pieces fight each other every step of the way, and you spend half the time wondering if the factory employees were just freelancing.The finish is a joke. This thing scratches if you make direct eye contact with it. I think I put a mark on it simply by sighing in its general direction.After hours of fighting this thing into submission, I finally finished—not because the instructions helped, but because stubbornness won.This wasn't furniture assembly. This was a psychological experiment to determine how long it takes an otherwise reasonable adult to consider setting a box of debris on the curb with a "FREE (GOOD LUCK)" sign.The cart looks decent once it's finally together, but no product is

  I want to give this another star

  If I could give this cart a 6th star I would. The quality of this product has not been seen in over a decade of self assembling furniture. Every piece was made to last. The cart looks clean and the color surprisingly matched the paint on the walls in the kitchen which was an added bonus. The wheels glide with ease. Assembly took about two Netflix movies but I have to acknowledge that the movies were distractions; so, it could’ve been faster. I started following this company and will gladly do business with them again.
