Mainstays Utility Cart - Oak

I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and ease of assembly for the price. I was very happy with the first two Sauder products I purchased, and this is no exception. I knew it would be pressboard and, therefore, heavy; but that makes it not only very sturdy but ecologically sound! It came with very protective packaging, and all the parts were there. The instructions are easy, as long as you pay attention. Even with the loss of strength in my hands, I found it very easy to put together. I use it for my printer, paper, and odds & ends. It fits easily in a very small space and looks nice. It's exactly what I needed and an excellent buy at under $30!

I am using two of these carts as temporary bookshelves in my 4 year olds room, easy to roll out and clean behind and under. We have a humidifier on one of them and I don't have to worry about water ruining a good piece of furniture. Good buy and looks good with our light oak trim. This is only temporary, but I could see these being used in our utility room later. I bought four of them and am happy with all. Seems to be very versatile.

When I unpacked this cart, the bottom shelf was broken on a back corner. Since it was an area that would not be seen, & did not affect assembly, I did not go thru the hassle of boxing & returning. The cart is used for holding a TV & video game system & is used daily. There is plenty of space to store the kids favorite games & other items. The castors make it easy to move when needed. Well worth the price.

For the price not bad, if you have any disabilities (muscle strength, artheritis) you'll need help! I was unable to tighten the top locks to the top shelve and now it's useless, can't return it because I used a power tool (which the instructions say not to) and the side piece is damaged. Only one set of wheels swivel, the other two go forward and back ward.

Mom had one like this for her microwave, but I am using it in the laundryroom to hold supplies. I have another with a birdcage on it, and to hold their supplies. I have a third one in my kitchen to hold more things, including my mixer. It could be used as a small bookshelf, too.
