Shintenchi Kitchen Island Cart with Storage,Rolling Kitchen Island Side Table on Wheels with Worktop,Single Door Storage Cabinet and Drawer for Kitchen,Dinning Room, Black

This kitchen island was surprisingly easy to build — the instructions were clear and simple to follow. I’m pretty familiar with assembling IKEA furniture, and this felt very similar in terms of setup. The color matches almost perfectly with my kitchen decor, and the overall look is beautiful and sturdy. It’s given us so much extra storage and countertop space, which makes preparing food so much easier. I’m really happy with this purchase and definitely recommend it!

Really really happy with this product, it came 5 days quicker than it said it would so that was a plus. Instructions were easy, I was able to build it by myself but another person would be helpful. The quality is really good, and everything was labeled and there as it should have been. The only thing that could make it better is more stability but that could just be because mine is on carpet.

I bought a kitchen island Feb of last year and I was like If I put two together it would make a lovely large counter. I just bought what I thought was the same exact one except it wasn't even though it said it was. Don't get my wrong I love both but screws were missing out my last one and difference on how they are made, they got a little cheaper, some od the parts on my last one was metal and now it's plastic, there are 5 wheels instead of three, more screws showing on the outside compared to the first one. The thing that really pissed me off was that one was taller than the other, this was supposed to tm be the same so highly disappointed1, I had already put it together or else I would of had sent it back. However, it is nice and sturdy and beautiful.

My wife bought this for the spare bedroom for storage and it is a nice looking and sturdy piece of furniture. When you open the box, you find a lot of parts. It looks like it will take 2 or more hours to assemble. They pack extra hardware so you should have all parts. You need to supply your own Philips screwdriver. Use a real screwdriver with a comfortable handle. I wouldn't use a cordless drill because the pressboard is very soft and you can strip out the wood easily if you over tighten. Just hand tighten until you start to feel resistance then stop. Follow the instructions closely. Use the parts list and match the parts numbers to the plastic bags. Most of the hardware is common sense, but it doesn't hurt to make sure. Thumbs up to the person who wrote the instructions. Most of the parts fit perfectly and is easy to put together. The only tricky part are the door hinges. First, there are four screw holes on each hinge that attach to the cabinet, but there are only two holes in the cabinet for each hinge. You need to add a third screw on the side of the top hole (the second top hole on the hinge). You can just muscle in the screw into the cabinet or you can use the awl on your swiss army knife and start a small dimple to make things easier. That third screw does the trick. You can also add the fourth screw to make it more secure. The other tricky part about hinge are the two adjustment screws. You need to loosen them enough so you can adjust the door so that the door closes upright and straight, and then you want to tighten the adjustment screws so that they stay upright the straight. That's why some reviewers say that the doors close on themselves. It's because the adjustment screws are too loose so the doors droop towards each other and they close on each other. One of the doors scrape on the cabinet when closing the chemical smell is pretty strong. Wipe the inside and let it air out if it bothers you. These are minor problems in my opinion. It took me about 90 minutes to assemble.

Cheap doesn't even begin to describe it. I honestly didn't have real high expectation for this cart considering the price compared to others, but I didn't think the quality would be as cheap and as poor as it ended up being. I assembled it myself. Wasn't too terribly hard to do. I did have a difficult time getting the doors and hinges to align. It probably took me close to two hours to assemble. Once it was fully assembled I realized how poorly it was constructed. In no way do I believe that it had anything to do with the way or in the manner that I assembled the cart. It wasn't my first trip to rodeo and not something that I was uncomfortable or unfamiliar with. The cart was very rickety. I had purchased the cart for my kitchen to place my KitchenAid mixer on. As some may know, the KitchenAid is a heavy mixer and when in use, it's quite powerful and cause a lot of vibration. There's no way this cart could have withstood that type of use. As much as I hated to do it, because it was a huge pain in the "butt", I disassembled the entire thing, reboxed it and returned it to Amazon. You know it's got to be bad to go through all of that. I can only imagine the number of people who end up keeping it because of the amount of trouble they have to go through to make a return. I sometimes think companies bank on that. That said, I did successfully return the item and was fully refunded. I do not recommend this cart under any circumstances.

It is ok for my coffee pot and espresso maker. Just the right size and the top is good looking and about an inch thick. I am not sure if is completely hard wood but it is heavy. The rest is a thin wood and the back might be a heavy cardboard or a very thin manufactured wood. I was a little disappointed in the wood. AND it is hard to put together. I had a friend who is a carpenter and another friend a person who can build rock walls 5’ high and it took them over two hours or more to put it together. Hanging the doors was the most difficult. Getting them hung so they would hang properly. I bought bed coasters to put under the wheels so it would not move. It is kitchen counter top high which is perfect. It shakes a little but the wheels help make it not shake has much. I cannot recommend it for someone who is particular about furniture.
