Create-a-Cart Black 4 Door Cabinet Kitchen Cart with Granite Top by Home Styles

Just received and put this together today. I got the two drawer model with natural wood finish, casters and wood top. Overall I give it 4.5 stars which I have rounded up to 5. The .5 star ding is due to poor instructions (which are still better than Ikea), slight misalignment on the drawers, and a crappy allen wrench.Home Styles has a lot of different furniture listed on Amazon and I read many of the reviews of other products trying to get a sense of the overall build quality. Many people complained of missing parts, damage during shipping, poor customer service, missing pre drilled holes and even a bad smell. I encountered none of these issues.I am a pretty experienced home furniture builder and consider myself pretty handy. That said this is not an easy build. It is not overly difficult but if this is your first major piece of assembled furniture I recommend you get some help. It took me about two and half hours to assemble by myself. I used a hammer, a real allen wrench, an electric screwdriver and wood glue to assemble this. The included allen wrench is pretty worthless and rounds off easily, and there are enough phillips head screws that you will want an electric screwdriver to save your wrists. The wood glue is probably not necessary but I always glue anything that uses wooden dowels.This unit is made from solid wood, not particle board or laminated plywood. Final construction quality is very solid. The small shelf on the side is a little flimsy and could use an extra screw or two but otherwise I am very impressed by just how solid the end product is. You will definitely want to tighten all the lag bolts as much as you can. Another reason to use a real allen wrench.As for the instructions they are pretty good but can be confusing in some areas such as attaching the top. Evidently there are different tops available with different types of attachments which wasn't made super clear in the instructions. It took me about ten minutes of studying the instructions to figure out how it went on.The top two drawers are not very deep, probably about an inch an a half, just enough to store a roll of saran wrap or aluminum foil. Also they don't line up perfectly, not a major issue and most people might not even notice but it kinda annoys me. There is also a small gap between the two center doors but at least it is straight.I would expect to pay close to a thousand dollars for this if not more in an actual furniture store so I definitely think it is worth the price. Overall this is a great addition to my kitchen.

This is beautifully made. Real wood and easy to assemble. Highly impressed and recommended!

Completely amazing! Craftsmanship is impeccable. Assembly was easy. The stainless steel top is gorgeous. If you were looking for a rolling cart for your kitchen this is the one you have to have. The cabinet space is good. The drawers are a little small though but ok. This is a must have if you’re looking for one!

Great Product, but be prepared for shipment headachesI finally have mine assembled and it looks great and fits beautifully in the kitchen!The good:1. It is sturdy and solid. Looks great and not cheap looking.2. Wood is great3. Granite is nice, but thin (still heavy, so I wouldn't be able to lift it if it was thicker)4. Casters are solid and easy to re-position around the kitchen5. Assembly instructions are generally well thought out, starting with assembling the casters to the bottom and building upwardThe medium:1. The cart is divided in 3 parts. The center one is nice and big (fits my Kitchenaid stand mixer), but the two side ones are quite narrow, so not as much fits in those. I almost wish it was divided in two and I could just fit two bigger things.The bad:1. It is so heavy that during shipment, not much care is taken that the granite won't crack or break. My first shipment came with a crack in the granite (yes, I had two shipments) . For the second one, I was convinced it was broken before I opened the box because when lifting on one end, it bent some. Amazingly, all the wood framing was broken, cracked and splintering in many places, but the granite itself was intact!2. The box for the granite is built around it with a bit less wood than needed. To open it, you have to break it apart, so to return it (if necessary), Amazon had to hire someone to come box it up and ship it back. This is a pain because they only give a 4 hour window to be there.3. My granite of my first shipment came with a crack in it (I have seen other reviews like that). Not sure if it was damaged during shipment or before. One of the drawers had the screw leading hole curved and the wood cracked, so I needed a replacement.4. I called the manufacturer and they said that they don't send out parts, so I needed to call Amazon. Amazon said that they don't send out parts, so they sent me a whole new set (two boxes). I had to go through the box looking for the parts for the drawer (nice that they have the drawer parts in a secondary smaller box inside the big box). I tried to replace just the face, but nothing lined up perfectly and the drawers would not close, so I had to assemble the drawers in their entirety from the new set, as neither drawers from the first set would close properly once I replaced the granite.Once new granite was in and new drawers were made, I love it... but it was a pain to get here!

The shipping and packaging on time and in excellent condition. All pieces and hardware were there. Instructions were easy and to the point. Took around four and a half hours to assemble. The end result was well worth the price and time putting it together. Exactly what I needed for my kitchen! Well pleased!
