Impressive shipping (UPS): ordered Nov 5; received Nov 9. Very well packaged.
Intended use: rolling storage cart for large kitchen appliances that I used to keep in a garage cabinet and haul out when needed (not in daily use). Some of these appliances are heavy (15# food processor) so I want to wheel them to the kitchen. Cart's small footprint (20"x 24") fits into a more accessible, unused, unshelved half of a pantry (sliding doors) in the kitchen. The cart is so attractive, that I considered leaving it in full view at the end of a counter where it fits perfectly. But I prefer a non-cluttered look, so it is in the pantry as originally intended, to be rolled out when needed (rolls easily, smoothly, and quietly on tile floor).
The cart's ss top (36"h) can be used as extra counter space. As storage shelf, the top easily accomodates my Breadmaker machine as well as a 12-cup food processor and a blender--all can be used on the cart without having to transfer them to a counter if an electric outlet is accessible. The basket holds the food processor's boxed accessories and an 8" diam. waffle grill; the bottom shelf holds a huge 12 qt. ss soup kettle and a full-size mix master.
The cart is extremely sturdy: heavy-duty,"industrial strength" parts and very well-designed structurally. The ss top is 1.75" thick (not solid but looks solid) with rounded, bull-nose edges on 2 ends. Despite it's small footprint, the 3 shelves hold a lot (one is a basket that slides on side tracks--its and the bottom shelf's heights are adjustable). I measured the distances between the shelves/basket as set to hold my appliances: from bottom of cart-top to top of basket=5.5"; basket depth is 4" so basket can hold an item that is 9.5" tall and still slide out. From bottom of basket to bottom shelf=18.5"...it could be set about 1" lower=19.5". If the basket is to hold loose items that don't stick up more than 4", the basket's height could be set right up against the cart's top (like a drawer) giving more height to the bottom shelf's storage capacity.
Assembly is a snap...no tools required. You can opt to use the swivel/lockable casters (heavy-duty rubber-like composition, not flimsy plastic) or metal "leveling feet" if the cart is to remain stationary. I screwed on the casters cuz intend to roll the cart from storage closet to kitchen.
Is there anything I would have liked different re this cart's design? If I had a choice between the sliding basket or another flat shelf, I'd opt for a plain adjustable shelf which for my purposes is more versatile, i.e. 3 storage shelves. I don't use the basket to hold loose items though others might prefer it for just such a use and say it makes the cart more versatile. I almost considered the basket a deal-breaker, but everything else about it--especially size--swayed me to go for it. As it is, the basket works fine for me, so my even mentioning this is unequivocally purely personal preference.
Finally, if you like a contemporary look, this elegant cart won't disappoint.
I had my kitchen redesigned and had it moved into a bigger room. Kitchen designer and contractor both insistent that I put in an island. I didn't want one as the room wasn't THAT big and having an island takes all that space in the middle would make the left over side much too small for seating. I told them that eventually I'd buy a moving cart with a stainless steel top to match my s.s. counters (they also recommended against those). My decent sized, but not huge cart is fantastic. I can move it out of the way, out of the room, use it right next to my counter with the commercial sized mixer on top where it's out and convenient to use, store ingredients and/or measuring materials/bowls or whatever I need on the shelves. It fills 100% of my needs, it was easy to assemble (no tools), wheels sturdy, moves easily even when loaded down, two shelves are convenient and accessible, and being s.s. super easy to clean and keep looking beautifully w/o any extra care. Could I have bought it cheaper? perhaps, but I am super delighted with my purchase.

I recently converted my home kitchen for the baking part of my catering business. I have used this table this week in the process of making 700 cupcakes for girl scouts. It is the perfect size to hold four dozen cupcakes on trays for the icing and decorating process. Having it on wheels makes it so very handy for so many different things. The basket underneath holds my tools within efficient reach. I'm already thinking about buying a couple more just like it! I do wish it were just a tad heavier to hold up under constant use over time. Overall, it is great.

I needed a cart to put a small refrigerator on, and this was just the right size. It assembled quickly and is plenty sturdy to hold the fridge. I also like the slide out basket below that can be used as storage. A nice cart

With most of the stainless kitchen carts I looked at costing upwards of $250, this one seemed too good to be true, but since I was looking for something to use on our patio as counter space next to a grill, I didn't want to to spend too much money. This one proved to be perfect, at least so far.
Easy to assemble, it feels solid and rolls smoothly and easily. The top is heavy duty enough to feel like it wills stand up to (covered, protected) outdoor use and the entire surface is large enough to feel useful, yet not overly obtrusive.
Honestly, for the price, I couldn't be more impressed. We will see how it holds up.

Design is good but the instruction for assebly is not clear. Also the pieces are not marked (like R, L, Top, bottom etc.,) and create confusion. I need to disassemble 4 times. Finally I was able to complete the assembly.
