Cuisine Island Kitchen Cart

The wood is good quality but the parts that hold it together are cheaply made. The drawer rides on a dowel instead of bars on each side. that's bad design. Also, the magnet in the center is too small and it barely holds the doors closed. As somebody said in an earlier review, both those are fixable, but I think it was poor/cheap design by the makers of this unit. It's not bad looking, and the large space inside is useful, but I don't think this is a 5 star piece. It's a 3 star piece.

I bought this 'cart' to go in my small kitchen, which has the cooktop at one end and the oven/microwave at the other end. It's perfect if there are only two people in there, but if you have company over, and you have a small kitchen, don't allow anyone in the kitchen!Anyhow, this 'cart' is the real thing. The wood is rich and sturdy, and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had done this a long time ago. It makes preparing food easier, and the storage is ample.The one and only thing I would change is that the locking casters don't really lock--I have ceramic tile floors and the locks on the casters just don't really 'lock'. I'm thinking of just removing the casters and let it sit on the floor, since it pretty much will stay in the same place.Other than that, this is a really quality piece, and looks great in my kitchen. Shipment was very quick, and communications with the seller were flawless. Thanks.
