Beechwood kitchen cart $119 ... good buy!, This is a solid wood kitchen cart which includes a knife box, a drawer, a towel rack, a cutting board, a wine rack shelf that holds 6 bottles, and a metal push handle. I purchased this product in April 2007 ($119/ + $34 s&h & tax) and received it in a relatively timely manner. It was fairly simple to put together, although the instructions were sparse (mostly pictures and hardly any text). Assembled in about 30 min once all parts had been accounted for. The only downfall was that it arrived with a damaged & unusable towel rack. Target sells the product, but the manufacturer is some place in Washington state. I tried to call them, but it was the weekend and they were closed. Notwithstanding that, this kitchen cart has performed well for almost 2 months. It is sturdy (except the chrome push handle is coming loose) and it has been used a lot.
Great except for one thing....., This cart is great. I use it as a microwave cart. I have a small kitchen so the paper towel holder, wine rack and extra storage on the bottom comes in very handy......but, the drawer is absolutely useless. It is not on any kind of slider rail (just wood on wood) so it constantly gets stuck or completely falls out. I don't use it at all anymore. I was lucky to get it back in place so I just leave it alone. I would have rated this item 5 stars if it wasn't for the hideous design on the drawer.
Good value - but not especially durable, When I purchases the Beechwood cart a year ago, I would have given it a five star rating. It is attractive, versatile, easy to assemble, and a great bonus for those who have small kitchens and need a space for cutting and storage.
Though I still would concede that it is a good value, I have found it not to be especially durable. I live alone and rarely have company, so certainly my usage (cutting perhaps twice a week, storing a few wine bottles) would be relatively low (even if the cat tends to nap on the surface.) The nuts have become loose more than once, and I always need to keep the allen wrench close by. It is very unsteady. One of the casters broke in two.
It has many 'pluses' - as long as I can get it to stand up straight.
