(More customer reviews)Pros:
- Good value
- Looks nice overall
- Looks mostly like in the picture
- Convenient design with space for a variety of items
- You can pull out the second shelf, but it is well-built enough to not just roll back and forth unintentionally.
- I really like the siding that prevents items from falling off.
- Several outlets
- Would take under an hour for one person to put it together, if you got everything right the first time around.
- Without the wheels, it's a very stable, solid piece. More so than I would've expected for the low price.
Cons:
- The shelves are not actually made of the wood they appear to be made of, that's just a thin layer on top of some other cheap wood. Only noticeable if you stand close to it though, which visitors probably wouldn't do.
- Contrary to what the picture suggests (some white stuff, whatever that is in the picture), the sides and back of the shelf are made of cheap, thin black plastic, which is clearly visible if you look at the cart from the side.
- The outlets are only 2-pronged, which makes this microwave cart useless for most microwaves unless you have more outlets to spare in the area. However, I knew this beforehand, so I made an informed decision to buy it.
- Approx. 80 pieces. The instructions consisted of nothing but TWO drawings, no words, no photos. You can imagine how difficult it is to determine what goes where and in which order. I even had to look at the photo online to establish which piece in the drawing is a metal shelf, which wood.
- Had to redo a number of pieces because they require a specific order. Unfortunately, with only two pictures, there is no way to establish the order from the instructions. Kind of a hit/miss process as you put it together. I wasted 30-45 minutes doing things in the wrong order.
- There were no screws small enough to go through the tiny holes in the metal to attach the power outlet. I'll have to go buy some.
- Some pieces were not accounted for in either the list of pieces or in the drawing, yet were essential if you want to get the wheels onto the cart. The letter indicated in the picture for the wheels was not the correct letter (no illustration there of wheels + pieces, just three letters and an arrow pointing to where they go). It referred to screws, when all you need is four large black plastic pieces that were non-existent on paper.
- There were scratches on the metal, and one metal piece was bent, as though they had been used before, taken apart, and re-packaged for the next customer. I don't care that much since we just need it temporarily for a rental, but this might bother some people.Conclusion: I don't regret buying this piece and I'm glad I have it because it makes up for a serious lack of counter space in this house. And considering the price, I still thing this item is good value. I just wish the instructions had been made (a LOT) better, and that the wood+plastic were a little nicer looking (and not damaged). I recommend buying this piece, just as long as you are aware of what you're getting.
