Crosley Black Wood Top Kitchen Prep Rolling Cart with Shelves & Drawers - Microwave Stand, Coffee Bar Station for Small Spaces - Perfect for Kitchen, Dorm, Office & Apartment Organization

I’m upgrading my review of three years ago (see below) because this cart is one of the most useful items I have ever purchased and because it has held up so well.Older comments: The reviews for this product already do a good job of indicating both the strength of this product--its attractive sturdiness, and also its main weakness--materials that don't quite measure up to the quality of the design. Over all, I ended up pleased with the product once I completed it, even though the wood top was slightly gouged and the drawers bottoms flimsy and somewhat warped. I did request one replacement drawer front because the screw holes in the piece were so shallow and the wood so hard that I couldn't get the fastener inserted with a screwdriver. (The other drawer was OK.) The Crosely customer service person was extremely nice, but when the replacement came, I was disappointed to find that it had the same problem. I had to hire my handy man and his drill gun to finish the job, which irritated me and added to the cost of the object. One caution about the ordering process: after submitting my order, I reread the reviews and decided the cart assembly might be too complicated for me. Even though I attempted to cancel my order within two or three hours of my initial submission, the Amazon system wouldn't let allow me to change my mind. The only offered recourse was either to refuse delivery or to go to the trouble to ship this two-box kit back. Since my UPS and Fedex delivery people arrive and depart before my dog can even manage a third bark, refusal seemed a poor option. The hassle of having to manage a return also seemed problematic. My advice to potential buyers is to read the reviews carefully and make sure you really want this item (and other heavy, hard-to ship-products) before you complete your order. Difficulty in cancelling probably is the necessary downside of extremely fast Prime shipping, so even if you enjoy two-day delivery, keep in mind that speed has its price. As it turns out, I managed the challenge of assembly, even though it took me awhile to get the hang of the visual instructions and two afternoons to work my way though the parts and pieces. Crosley's very clear labeling helped as did reviewers warnings about making sure the door gliders were in the right position.
