Homestyles Create-a-Cart Cottage Oak Mobile Kitchen Cart with Gray Granite Top

Just received and put this together today. I got the two drawer model with natural wood finish, casters and wood top. Overall I give it 4.5 stars which I have rounded up to 5. The .5 star ding is due to poor instructions (which are still better than Ikea), slight misalignment on the drawers, and a crappy allen wrench.Home Styles has a lot of different furniture listed on Amazon and I read many of the reviews of other products trying to get a sense of the overall build quality. Many people complained of missing parts, damage during shipping, poor customer service, missing pre drilled holes and even a bad smell. I encountered none of these issues.I am a pretty experienced home furniture builder and consider myself pretty handy. That said this is not an easy build. It is not overly difficult but if this is your first major piece of assembled furniture I recommend you get some help. It took me about two and half hours to assemble by myself. I used a hammer, a real allen wrench, an electric screwdriver and wood glue to assemble this. The included allen wrench is pretty worthless and rounds off easily, and there are enough phillips head screws that you will want an electric screwdriver to save your wrists. The wood glue is probably not necessary but I always glue anything that uses wooden dowels.This unit is made from solid wood, not particle board or laminated plywood. Final construction quality is very solid. The small shelf on the side is a little flimsy and could use an extra screw or two but otherwise I am very impressed by just how solid the end product is. You will definitely want to tighten all the lag bolts as much as you can. Another reason to use a real allen wrench.As for the instructions they are pretty good but can be confusing in some areas such as attaching the top. Evidently there are different tops available with different types of attachments which wasn't made super clear in the instructions. It took me about ten minutes of studying the instructions to figure out how it went on.The top two drawers are not very deep, probably about an inch an a half, just enough to store a roll of saran wrap or aluminum foil. Also they don't line up perfectly, not a major issue and most people might not even notice but it kinda annoys me. There is also a small gap between the two center doors but at least it is straight.I would expect to pay close to a thousand dollars for this if not more in an actual furniture store so I definitely think it is worth the price. Overall this is a great addition to my kitchen.

Completely amazing! Craftsmanship is impeccable. Assembly was easy. The stainless steel top is gorgeous. If you were looking for a rolling cart for your kitchen this is the one you have to have. The cabinet space is good. The drawers are a little small though but ok. This is a must have if you’re looking for one!

This is a wonderful piece and was packed very well. It was (BY FAR) the easiest piece of furniture I have ever assembled, and I have assembled a lot of furniture. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to assemble, but I'd go ahead and say 3 hours total for clean up. The base comes in one box. I was so happy to see all the tracks were already screwed in place for the drawers and the doors pop right into place! The only problem I ran into, was a screw needed to get placed very close to the track on the drawers - simple solution, really. Loosen the track, screw in the screw, tighten the track back up. I did assemble this on my own, and in my personal opinion, it's a one-person job. (Unless the second person screws in all of the handles or something. Another set of hands would be in the way. With that, The granite counter top was VERY heavy and awkward enough - but I managed (I'm a fairly small framed, 30 yo female). THAT could use two hands, but again, I managed.Clean up is a mess. It looked like it snowed white styrofoam all over our kitchen and there was also a wooden frame packaged around the granite counter top (all of this, I see as a major plus - I'd MUCH rather be cleaning up a huge mess than replacing broken items).I read other reviews on the "flimsy" backing - which I say... it's $450. To be honest, I think this product was a steal - wheels, granite counter top, sturdy bade.... The backing is sturdy enough - unless you plan on kicking your kitchen island, throwing heavy items in there, or stuffing it terribly.As far as storing, I have two sets of bowls, food processor, chopper, 4 pans, mandoline slicer, pineapple cutter and a set of 3 strainers. There is room for some more items, but I like easy access and not digging for things.The spice rack to the side is wonderful, as when you plan your meal, you can put all the spices you need there. I also keep the spices I use daily in there.I would recommend this product in a heartbeat.
