Kitchen trolly is nice, just need better screws to put this together. The steps were wrong but once i noticed the pictures didn't add up with numbers on the shelves, i knew i needed to look at the pictures carefully before tightening anything up.Step 1: Shelf 9 is really Shelf 7Step 2: Shelf 3 is really Shelf 5Nail for the knob is too short to secure the knob in place, had to use a slightly longer nail (same thing happened with the PVC Leg, had to use slightly longer nail to secure in place).Step 13: Securing the MT Stopper was tricky and even once i finished it, there is a small gap when the door is closed.overall, i'm happy with the product, will try to fix the door to align properly so it closes later on.Love this cabinetGave it 4 stars because it is difficult to assemble due to poor directions.Secondly the veneer top was damaged fairly easily by water from a plant saucerThat said, it is nice a looking and quite sturdy cabinetDon’t put anything that could leak on topI would buy again, but put a glass top to protect the finishI thought it would be an easy assemble, but after not finding matching description to parts. I stopped short of completing the assembly. I will try again when I have a lot more time than what is stated should work.I figured out how to out this together by the pictures, lots of undoing, and trail-and-error. Instructions were super unclear and mis-numbered in regards to the pieces… at least it made me feel like a badass when it was done.After finally getting it put together it looks pretty nice. However, it took hours to put together because the instructions were confusing and several pieces were either mislabeled or not labeled at all. There were also some missing holes for screws, so I haven’t been able to put the wheels or feet on or securely fasten the hinges to the cabinet door (the door still works; I’m just not sure how long it will hold without screws). While I enjoy the product and will definitely use it, I probably won’t ever buy anything else that’s made by Hodedah, as I wasn’t expecting such a small piece of furniture to be such a headache to put together.I am so disappointed with this purchase. The door and the rest of the cabinet are not the same color wood. The screw for the door knob was stripped and I can’t attach the knob until I go buy a longer screw. The handle to push the cart should be on the same side as the wheels so you can tip it back and roll it as it only has two wheels. But the directions had us put the wheels on the opposite side. So it’s impossible to easily roll. And if you try to lift up on the top to roll it, it comes apart. I wanted to set this up as a really cute coffee station in my dining room and now I’m wishing I had chosen something else. Seems like a huge hassle to return it now that it’s put together. And by the way, the instructions are terrible. Save your money.This product is def what I needed for additional storage. Assembly was extremely difficult due to the fact that the instructions were not very clear. Some of the pieces were not labeled correctly but luckily, we were able to put it together 3 hours later. If the instructions were better I’d give it 4 stars.You would think for a small piece of furniture it’d be simple, that was in fact not the case. The instructions don’t match the pictures at all. It’s really just a game of figuring it outWill not buy from this brand again!
