Create-a-Cart White 2 Door Cabinet Kitchen Cart with Salt and Pepper Granite Top by Home Styles

They failed to drill two holes in one of the parts. It was either leave all this in the floor until I could get a replacement piece or try drilling the holes, which my husband did and it worked. Not sure what would have happened if it didn't. But since it worked I really like it.

I have a relatively large kitchen with a lot of cabinets and storage, but my house was built 40 years ago and is not equipped to handle the newer appliances requiring 1500-1800 watts each. Since I tend to be an appliance junkie, I have a couple different ovens, a couple grills, a griddle, a coffee pot, a couple food processors, and a microwave oven. If you are the cook of the family, you know it's difficult enough to plan and cook creative meals every day with out having to worry about the configuration of appliances you can use without blowing out the circuit breaker. If you don't choose wisely, the circuit breaker pops, everything goes off, and you have to guess where each appliance timer was to finish cooking after you figure out where you can plug an appliance that won't blow off the circuit breaker again. In addition, I was finding that some appliances I would use were in the back of cabinets, and weren't being used because it took too much effort to dig them out.This kitchen island has helped to solve both of my problems. We put it on a wall in the kitchen that is on a different circuit than the rest of the kitchen, so I can use more appliances at one time. This island has also provided more space in the cabinets that I can keep some of the smaller appliances handy so I will use them. The drawers and cabinets have also helped to keep accessories for my appliances together instead of trying to put them wherever they would fit. This island has really eliminated a lot of stress in my meal planning and cooking.I decided on this island because it is available in an oak finish. Most offer only white, black, and cherry. My kitchen is more of a honey oak, but this color looks fine even though it is a little darker in color. As others have mentioned, it was easy to put together and is solid wood. Personally, I prefer the casters since this makes it easy to move to wash and vacuum the kitchen floor. The drawers glide easily and are comparable to the expensive cabinetry. On one side of the island is a paper towel holder that is very handy to wipe messes on the counter. On the other side, is a spice holder and a towel holder below it.The doors of the cabinets can be easily removed by just lifting them up, and are held closed with magnets. The unit comes with 1 shelf for each cabinet, but my husband made two more shelves for me to hold items I wanted to store in them. The heights of shelves are completely adjustable with pegs inserted into the sides of the cabinets. In addition, there are grooves on the undersides of the shelves that pegs fit into so the shelves don't shift.Personally, I couldn't be happier with this kitchen island. It has solved most of my problems with dinner planning and storage. Best of all, it has solved the problems of cooking in my rubrics cube kitchen. I can cook good meals without having to figure out what appliances will work together. All-in-all, this is a very well constructed island that is comparable to much more expensive models.I hope this review was helpful for you. If you have had similar problems that I had, this island may be a Godsend for you.

Durable construction. Almost all well built. Wished back was not just cardboard! (As it could be the exposed side) Otherwise a very nice piece of furniture which could have many uses. Drawers n cabs space great just hate the cheap as hell backing to the unit. Why kill the quality with this??

Easy to assemble, took about 2 1/2 hours. We got the warm oak color. I did it by myself and only needed my husband’s help to put the screws in to secure the drawers. I needed a second set of hands. (Use a power drill for this, a Phillips will take you all day otherwise.) Ok here’s a tip so you don’t lose your mind...my cabinet doors were mislabeled. Someone clearly stuck the wrong stickers on them identifying which part they were. Use common sense if you see something weird like that. They were labeled incorrectly, but ALL the pieces were in the box. Ok, so here’s the fun stuff....the granite shipped separately from the rest of the unit, so you will get two boxes. Our granite came one day and the rest showed up the very next day. It is super heavy. Assemble it near where you plan on using it. I assembled the base in my basement and easily carried it upstairs to my kitchen with my husbands help. He put the granite piece on top. (I thought I was going to be able to pick it up and do it while he was at work, and uh...ya...it’s way to heavy. Don’t throw out your back. Have someone around to help when you do this.) The cabinets have an option to put in a shelf on either side, but I opted to use them for storing recycle on one side and trash on the other. You can do this too if you buy a rectangular bin to store underneath. The cabinets have a magnetic latch to hold them shut, but there is no lip underneath for installing a baby proof latch. I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 16 month old. I may have to find different latches to lock the cabinets. One more tip: be careful when you open the boxes...do NOT damage the boxes. When I opened the granite it was in perfect condition. It comes shipped in a wooden crate type cage inside of a box. However, the “J” piece of the base of ours came damaged. I called Amazon to see if just that one piece could be replaced, and they said NO. You have to return the whole item! Because it was on the base in a place where I could use wood glue and hide the defect (because the damage is inside the cabinet, see my photos) I opted to keep it. Amazon credited me back 20% of the purchase price for the inconvenience, which was $100. But, my advice is to be careful unboxing it in case you have to re-box it to return it! Otherwise, we LOVE our new kitchen cart. It is super solid, well made and the instructions were easy to follow. Worth every penny and I’m sure we will be enjoying it for years to come.

Il est bien, mais le rapport qualité n’est pas vrai! Le prix devrait être moins de 500$

I liked the speed of delivery (it arrived sooner than I was told to anticipate), the careful packaging to avoid damage, the clarity of the instructions. The appearance is as advertised and looks great in my kitchen. The only flaw was a hole drilled too wide that required my helper to modify it with plumbing tape to make it smaller and thus able to fit the screw and keep the unit together properly. It took five careful hours of assembly to compete the job! But it is worth it. If the hole had fit the screw properly without needing to be fixed, I would have given this five stars.

This is just beautiful! Very easy to put together. Directions were easy to follow. Not made out of cheap wood. Made out of real wood. Quality is very strong. Lots of compliments on how beautiful this is. Worth buying this product! JulieAnn

Excellent would highly recommend this
