homestyles Dolly Madison Off-White Kitchen Cart

I looked at many kitchen islands. This one was the best, not too big and not too small. The color is beautiful. Took about two hours for my son to easily put it together. That was from opening the box and sorting out the items. He followed the instructions to a tee. Worth every penny. We love the stainless steel top. With it on the rug I never have to lock the wheels. No flaws and no missing parts. Again it’s beautiful and don’t hesitate to buy!!

The box is incredibly heavy, so you will need someone to maybe help you move it inside your house. It comes 100% disassembled and took hours and hours for me to put together even with help. I am slightly concerned because at one point when I was unpacking the box, it looked like it was contaminated with fiberglass. I'm still not sure... yikes! (See photos) A few of the dowels were broken off but luckily was still able to assemble. It had extras of all the screws which I appreciated. It also has a locking system for each of the pieces that fit together which was interesting. It seems to be sturdy enough and of good quality for what I paid. I appreciated that it has the heavy, stainless top instead of a butcher block and also the knobs match my cabinets. I decided not to put the caster wheels on it but they were nice and heavy. It has plenty of storage space inside and the shelf clips that support the shelves or metal instead of plastic and we're also padded, which I thought was a great detail. The most tedious part was peeling the stickers off of everything, which I eventually just gave up on the second most tedious thing was assembling the drawers. One drawer had a random staple sticking out of it, but I was able to push it inward, and still assemble. I was worried that this would look super cheap but actually looks quite nice and was $100 less than the same thing on Wayfair. I feel like it was worth the 200 something I paid.

For this price, what you get is impressive. Metal hardware instead of plastic, and the cart is sturdy and seems well made. Assembly took about two hours. There are tons of parts and pieces, but unlike so many things, this came with decent instructions. And each part has a tiny sticker on it with the corresponding letter to the illustrations in the instructions. That's crucial because a lot of the parts look similar to each other. One thing: you'd better hope you don't want to return it, because there's no way you'd be able to fit all those parts back into the box. lol Anyway, the final result is quite attractive. The drawers and doors work well. I didn't install the towel bar or the spice rack because I didn't need them, but the parts for them looked good. For such a narrow cart, there is a good amount of storage space. I really love this. Update: when we renovated our kitchen, we painted this, changed the handles, and replaced the stainless steel top with quartz. It become a wow thing! We did have to put some wood blocks under the quartz, as it was heavy and this cabinet is made from particle board so we were afraid it would collapse. But that did the trick.

Very heavy, large box. We got it inside to the entryway, and decided to empty the parts from there to the room in which we assembled it. Go through the instructions and sort parts before you begin. Make sure it is all there. The process goes MUCH easier with 2 people who both know how to assemble and help. Assembly was pretty straight forward. Drawer rails and door hinge parts come pre-installed. Assembling the drawers themselves is much easier with someone to help hold it all together while screws are installed. Make sure you put the side pieces on with the rails in the correct position. (We ended up having to take apart and redo one drawer, ooops) I have a love/hate thing with the pre-installed cam-locks. While it was much easier not having to put pieces in, making sure it's all in the correct position before turning with the screw driver to lock into place, these with the flip latches often did not want to work very well. They are fussy getting the peg part into the right position, and then can be difficult to get that latch securely locked into place. We used a flathead screw driver to get a few of them locked in. Over-all it took me and my adult son about an hour and a half to assemble, including the reassemble of the drawer. I absolutely LOVE this piece. It looks great in my dining/kitchen area, and it's almost as big as what I was looking for. I'd have liked something maybe another 6 inches wider, but those were too pricey. This one is really nice, sturdy, and the price cannot be beat. So why did I take off a star? Little things that shouldn't be an issue. Dings in the paint here and there, but mainly the doors do not align quite right. The door problem can be seen in pictures I've posted. They aren't off so badly that it cannot be used and it's really not extremely noticeable. But *I* notice it, and it bugs me. If I had paid the full listed price for this, I'd have returned it. As it stands, this is still a great cabinet at an even better price, so it stays.

I love this thing. Looking at it assembled, it’s hard to believe it’s flat-pack. It really is a nice looking piece of furniture. It’s counter height. The storage is awesome. Love the stainless steel top. I no longer have to stress so much about dribbling a little water when I fill the coffee maker. And I so very much appreciate metal hardware instead of plastic. Assembly was mostly VERY good. The drawer rails and door hinges all came pre-installed. I didn’t have to worry about the doors being crooked because I didn’t put hinges on right or having to rebuild drawers because I read the diagram wrong and put the slides on backwards. And NO NAILS. No cheap backing or drawer bottoms held in place with finishing nails. NICE. My biggest complaint is the weird little pre installed locks. Or “thumb killers” as I nicknamed them. I’d prefer to just install old-fashioned cam locks. I followed someone else’s recommendation of using a flathead screwdriver to flip them closed. That worked okay. But the thing went together very easily. I also love how solid it is. It feels like real furniture, probably because of the rubberwood. Absolutely no cheap, rickety feel. And the wheels are solid. No cheap plastic there either. It glides easily across the floor. The drawer rails are great. They open and close super easy. It was kinda difficult not to scratch the paint at all while assembling. It’s a heavy cart. But it’s all on the inside. No big deal. The outside looks perfect, especially the back. In fact, I hope to use it as an island one day. That’s pretty much what it is anyway. I got the hardware and the towel holder and spice rack stashed away until I move and have more room. Worth every penny. I’m so happy with it.

Pretty happy with it! The color is nice, kind of a creamy off-white. All the parts were included and in good shape, which I was worried about after seeing some reviews. I got lucky with a delivery without incident I guess. I bought this for a coffee station and a place to store extra appliances, especially my stand mixer. The shelves are adjustable, but you can see how much my mixer takes up on the bottom shelf, so I’ll have either get rid of one of the shelves to make room for more stuff, or use those top shelves for low profile items, maybe kitchen towels or something. Other reviews mentioned off-gassing, and it is definitely doing that here, it’s not overwhelming (to me, others might be more sensitive to it), but I do notice it when I walk in the house. I keep wiping it down with a damp soapy cloth and leaving all the drawers and cabinet open, hoping that those fumes dissipate as the soapy water evaporates. That’s worked for other items I’ve had in the past like this. This took me about 2- 2.5 hours to assemble, but it was extremely easy. I’d only used the hex wrench and a philips screwdriver, although you could use a power drill, I’m always afraid of over tightening. I had my husband help me through the first few steps, to assemble the base and side walls, although I probably could have done it alone, it’s easier with an extra pair of hands to line everything up properly. The instructions are pretty straightforward and most steps were easy to follow, a couple of them I had to noodle on. Tip: when you’re assembling the drawers, it helps to take the side panels and pretend you’re going to slide them into the tracks, to help you see how everything should be assembled: I slipped up on my second one and had the front and back panels reversed. Had to take it all apart and switch them around. I appreciate that the parts are all labeled, including all the fasteners and hardware, were named exactly what they are (wood screws, machine screws, etc). That made it so much easier than other items we’ve had to assemble. Things went together easily, the only thing I wasn’t able to fasten down was the two clips underneath the center of the countertop, there was a gap I just could not solve despite all the other fasteners on the perimeter having been closed. It doesn’t seem to affect anything though, so I’m shrugging it off for now. The other issue is, the cabinet doors are slightly misaligned, I think it has something to do with the left door hinge, I’m going to tinker with the hinge screws a bit to see if that might help. I’ll update my review if I notice anything else. But so far, I’m pleased with the quality of the materials and the value.

I purchased this island/cart to go in the middle of my kitchen floor. It is not very large by any means but it serves it's purpose. I liked the idea of having a stainless steel top instead of wood. The delivery box weighs about 120lbs and for the most part requires 2 people to lift and build this. As with most of the furniture I have purchased on amazon lately it is build-your-self and I try to use wood glue/construction adhesive whenever I can to reinforce the build. Overall I am very happy with the quality & price on this piece. Some of the hardware is a bit low quality while most is very good quality. The brushed steel top is very heavy duty and looks amazing. I would recommend this cart for a small to medium sized kitchen.

We needed a little extra counter space for some small counter-top appliances and an occasional "staging" area and some extra storage space. This cart did the trick very nicely. The same cart, and a few other designs, is sold under several different names by a variety of retailers, including Walmart, Kohl's, and Home Depot, so you may be able to get it from your local retailer, but the prices vary a lot and Amazon's was one of the best prices for "to your home" deliver. And you'll need it, because this cart is HEAVY!! You'll need two people to carry it and it may not fit in your car, depending on your trunk, given the large box it comes in from the manufacturer. Unlike some of the reviewers experience, it fit together nicely and all the parts were there and undamaged. It took 4+ hours of careful assembly time, but it seems sturdy enough and looks great!! The slightly off-white color matte finish matches our cabinets perfectly and we are very happy with the end result. The instructions included in the box were excellent (6 pages with good illustrations) and we had no trouble with assembly at all, other than the time spent matching parts and putting it all together. Highly recommended if you don't mind the assembly time and it came without delivery dents or damage. I can see how it happens for some people, given the size and weight of the box (all it takes is one drop), but in fairness to the manufacturer, it was packaged very nicely and cushioned all-around with foam packing between the pieces and the box. Worth the gamble if you need the extra cabinet space, but I'll caution you, as other reviewers have pointed out, it would be nearly impossible to put it back into the box to return it once you take it apart to look at all the pieces. So if it arrives with delivery dents or has obviously been dropped, return it immediately! If not, give it a try and I suspect you'll be very happy with the end result!

I ordered the white cart with a stainless steel top. I received the package around 2 weeks after I ordered it. The only issue I had was that it was missing the front face to the three drawers. I emailed the company and they sent them to me after about a week. Since they did everything possible to remedy the situation in a timely matter, I am not reducing my rating for this product. The table is sturdy and well built. The assembly instructions were easy to follow and I think the connection method is quite clever. I used a small hammer and screwdriver to lock the tabs in place. Using your thumbs can be done if you are strong. I assembled it by myself. All units are packed well with plenty of foam material which can float around the room a little. But remember, these items are coming from China. They need to be well insulated. I had no problems. The cart does give off some smell, but it goes away naturally after about 3 weeks. No big deal. I chose to install it without the wheels because I think adding them adds instability and cheapens the look. I wish the company offered the product with wooden stable legs also. I will need to find these myself. The wood feels like real wood and looks good. The color is a mat white. It's not off white.

Acheté le dimanche, livraison annoncée pour le vendredi et livraison réelle le mercredi début PM !!! Impressionnant Amazon !!! Produit de bonne facture, solide et facile à monter (IL NE MANQUAIT RIEN DU TOUT) Me voilà réconcilié avec vous Amazon !!! Merci et à la prochaine commande !

Good quality. Snapped together easily. Instructions are enough. Solved the problem I was trying to fix.

Good and strong looks great in kitchen

My wife loves it. Very sturdy, easy to build & the quality of wood is great. Doesn't feel cheap at all. Worth the buy.
