We love it! I will use it as a coffee bar and it fits the space we need just perfectly. We chose not to add the two items on the sides of the cart because we knew we wouldn't use them and it would take up even more space
I can't express how satisfied I am with this purchase. This has to be my best buy since using Amazon. I did thorough research on multiple islands and this took the cake. First of it took my boyfriend less than an hour to put it together. He's very handy though. Anyway I love it! Spacious! Excellent storage for my extras which were stuff in the oven. Now I don't need to unpack the oven before using it anymore. The wood feels so rich and right, the drawers are heavy and slide easily. The stainless steel top is PERFECT! No regrets and highly recommend.
I love this Kitchen cart!! I searched high and low for a kitchen cart/island on all of the amazon and all of the bed bath & beyond for my wedding registry. This seemed to be the best option, because of the finished back and easy mobility - but I was apprehensive when I saw that it is not eligible for returns. I wanted to give the product the benefit of the doubt though, because I liked it so much, so I added it - and my mom & sister got it for me! So my fiancee started putting it together, and it seemed a little confusing at points, but it worked out. It took about 2 hours if I remember correctly, and I plan to replace it with the same exact cart if anything ever happens to it. I think the price is wonderful, considering.
Complements our new kitchen beautifully. However, the off-gassing is the worst I've had with any furniture piece. After several vinegar wipe-downs (white is better than apple cider vinegar for this job) with the strong smell persisting, we've added coffee beans to different areas with LOTS (nearly complete) of relief. We really needed extra storage and counter space, and it looks really nice...but if we had more resources (i.e. time and money) right now, we probably would've shopped for something like this in person. Assembly was fun - besides the smell - and everything fit properly.
this item was a wedding gift it had been something i had wanted for a long time . when i got it firts off the box is extremely heavy. taking all the parts out and checking to make sure i had all the parts and what not i started to notice there was a lot of damage and unfortunately i ordered the white one which made it even more noticeable. i contacted the company for parts to be replaced was placed on hold and hung up on several times till i eventually gave up and said forget it just put the damn thing together. i was told to send it back to Amazon but there was no way i was going to be able to put everything back in the box when i could barely lift any of the parts out to begin with. i started putting it together and i noticed several parts were not labeled right and just ended up putting it together by looking at the pieces and not the letters . eventually 3 hours later its together and i have a new coffee bar. i wish i had listened to the negative reviews. if the wood wouldn't had come damaged and i could have gotten ahold of someone to replace them it would have been fantastic. the only positive is that the stainless top was really really nice but i had to have help putting it on
We couldn't be happier with this purchase. Assembly was easy - I put together by myself in just over an hour and a half. I followed the directions exactly as written and everything fell into place perfectly. I didn't have to do any "do-overs" during the assembly process. The assembly instructions are some of the best I've encountered.
The unit is sturdy as a tank, the doors line up as they should, and the drawers open and close smoothly. It looks great as a center island in our kitchen. I am satisfied in every way with this purchase. My suggestion is don't try to take shortcuts or get ahead of the assembly instructions. If you follow them as written, everything falls into place quite nicely.
I strongly recommend this item. It's a great item for the price. Keep in mind, you are buying a $200.00 item, not an $800.00 item. I hope you enjoy your purchase as much as we have.
It's an alright island, but there are a few issues:
-Some parts were completely missing from the box.
-Other parts were damaged or otherwise had minor flaws.
-The steel counter top was scratched straight out of the box.
-Instructions were completely wrong in at least one place, but the error was easy to notice and work around.
-Instructions completely glossed over a few necessary steps.
-I had to go through three different Amazon customer service representatives before I found one who understood that I couldn't return the whole product just to get the last few scratched/missing parts replaced (It had already been mostly put together before the flawed/missing parts were noticed)
On the other hand:
-It wasn't particularly difficult to put together (except for the drawers)
-It looks good (sans flawed parts)
-It rolls well.
If you're on a budget, this will do well enough, but don't expect perfection.
Exceeded my expectations! I love the extra storage (and counter) space, and the style is extremely close to the rest of my kitchen with the white and stainless. It fits right in. If you're looking for a little more space this is a great alternative to permanent and costly island. I chose to remove the two end pieces as I didn't need them and it fit better for me, but you can keep both, remove both, or keep one. Pretty versatile and stylish. Lots of compliments, sturdy, easily mobile.
I love this island. It is the perfect size for my kitchen and rolls away when I have a large gathering. The instructions were quite straight forward and definately better than instructions from non-north american manufacturers. The stainless steel top is awesome. I have two small issues that I have not been able to rectify on my own due to workmanship of product....First, it came with scuff marks on it and no touch up marker and second, the cupboard doors are slightly out of alignment. The issues do not make the product unworthy. I am no cabinet maker but the overall value for dollar is worth it.
The product was easy to assemble but parts were missing and the box was damaged. The seller was unable to be found and there was no way to contact them after. The whole back panel and the drawer bottoms were missing
This is a great island cart the only issue I had was it’s more of a off white colour my cabinets are a bright white colour so today I Went to Benjamin Moore took a cabinet door they match the paint and I painted the island cart it was a lot of work but it looks great
It took me about 2.5 hours to assemble this item. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The only tools I used were the included allan key, a Phillips screwdriver, and a rubber mallet. I needed the mallet to persuade a couple of the flip-fastener thingies to close. I guess my hands just aren't strong enough. The cart looks nice and provides more much-needed storage in my kitchen. Two thumbs up!
Once it was all together it was still weak sided, not something that you want to move .. ever.. pushing or pulling into place or even gently nudging it with a finger makes it wobble.
There were a few nicks & scratches on the wood pieces.
All pieces were assembled as tight as they could get without breaking something.
Manual easy to read.
Parts easily identified.
Given the price I expected more stability.
