Crosley Compact Granite Top Rolling Cart with Shelves - Microwave Stand, Towel Rack, Small Kitchen Cart for Apartments - Black | Perfect for Small Spaces, Dorm Rooms & Kitchen Organization

Bought this on a black Friday sale, so I was tempted to pay to have somebody else put it together; I'm really glad I didn't. I'm a veteran of Ikea and other RTA furniture and my pet peeves are getting a giant sack of components you have to sort, and tricky door hinges and drawer slides. When I opened the well packed and padded box there was a sheet with each of the components shrink wrapped and labeled. The directions referenced the labels so it was much easier to get started with assembly right away, and a couple extra screws were included which I liked. The directions were okay but not great--twice I had to do "trial and error" to figure out where a screw went because the drawings in the instructions are so small it isn't clear which pre-drilled hole to use, but it is fairly intuitive. The drawer slides are already assembled--just pop the drawer in. Heaven! Also, the top of the door hinge pin is retractable so you just position the door correctly and you're done. SO much easier than any other piece of furniture I've put together and the spaces around the drawer and the doors was perfectly even. There are only 3 positions for the interior shelf, all near the center of the cabinet, which is slightly disappointing but it is probably a structural feature to strengthen the cabinet. The wheels work perfectly as do the wheel locks. The hardware is heavy and of very good quality. I got the steel topped version which was also heavy and good quality. There was a slight scratch on my top, but I intend to use the piece so there will be many more scratches soon and that wasn't a problem for me. Par for the course with steel. The cabinet is small enough for my studio condo but deep enough so that I can store my large frying pans and cooking pots. The bottom of the drawer is basically coated cardboard, so don't plan on overloading it but I think it will be fine for the dish cloths and pot holders I plan to store there. The doors and drawer have a really nice look to them and the piece looks considerably more expensive than it cost. One of the best pieces of RTA furniture I've bought--despite the minimal instructions I would buy a Crosley piece again in a heartbeat.
