Placed a heavy granite slab on top, locked the wheels and made 15 batches of slab worked candy and fudge. Quite sturdy. Then we converted it to hold a heat lamp and cutting board to serve our prime for Christmas. It was higher then I wanted for this use, but less expensive then what I could buy the individual parts for. Frame was semi assembled that helped speed up the process. The placement of the frame on the base board and top shelf are NOT pre marked. You must align and measure the placement. It will be useful in our small kitchen.

Some previous reviews complained about the lack of pre-drilled screw holes but because of the way it is put together it would be impossible to pre-drill. The instructions could have explained this better but ultimately we had not trouble figuring it out. I have to say my husband is more handy than most though.
I love the way it looks …it’s very sturdy and functions perfectly as my coffee bar.

The cart quality was about what I expected. Great value. It can take a minute to square the legs up but overall assembly goes fast and everything is pre-finished so you are all done after assembly. The boards are solid and not pressed with a veneer. Better than I expected. It is holding a 20gal fish tank just fine at around 180lbs.

I love this little portable island!

I love the look of this piece. And also the size. It is sturdy.
