Winsome Wood Kitchen Cart, Natural, Single Drawer (82027)

After much research into size, color, shape, capability, and material used, I chose the Winsome roll-around . I received the unit two days earlier than expected, and the shipping box was in excellent condition. After carefully opening, removing and inventorying the contents, I found that I only needed a Phillips head screwdriver as an Allen wrench was included. OK. So far, so good. Then came the instructions which admittedly left a lot to be desired but the rendering drawings were more helpful. (NOTE: If you buy this unit and decide to follow the drawings for assembly, look at each stage of the drawings carefully before you start each assembly stage. The drawings are very good and accurate so follow them accordingly). The most impressive aspect of this package was the material. It was solid wood. Pieces were wrapped in thin Styrofoam sheeting and taped to keep from unraveling. Admittedly I have not seen this depth of packaging in some time which told me that this company takes steps to ensure a protected product to the customer. Attachment of all the parts was made thru the use of screw-bolts which had the star shaped head and were screwed in using a star headed Allen wrench. In nearly all the instances, the screws went in relatively quick while a few took some time because of their location in the unit. This was NOT a problem however. By looking at each of the assembly drawings at least 3-5 times, each and every piece of wood was placed in their correct location without any incident. NOTE: As you assemble each segment, DO NOT tighten the bolts completely down. Tighten to a gentle one-finger pull on the wrench. This will allow some leeway as you get to the next step of assembly and fitting. Once I got all the pieces together, I went back and tightened each screw-bolt using a two-finger pull on the Allen wrench. After getting the unit near completion, it was time to add the doors. Now, reading other reviews, I read the whining about the bent hinges, or hinge not aligned with screw holes, etc. OK, I was a tiny bit concerned but figured that so far, everything was going just great. And the doors proved it to be the crowning 100% GREAT! The door pins slide perfectly on the hinges and when closed, the doors aligned perfectly with the magnetic latches. Everything when so well with assembly that I forgot to mention one itsy bitsy little thing. One....not two or three....but just ONE of the small Phillips head screws that would attach the door handles to the door, did not go completely in. So I backed out the screw, tried once, the twice more and then finally did my Grandpa's trick: I put a little soap on the screw.....and it when in all the way. With assembly completed I then rolled the unit to it location for the microwave, placed the appliance on top, locked the wheels, and it was done. Oh....and one more thing I like very much about this unit is that the inside shelves are solid wood slats assembled into one shelf. You get two shelves with this unit. The upper shelf is for small covers or frying pans and the bottom for some larger items you don't use very often. Overall, it took me about 1 1/2 hours to put together (Yes, I took my time with this assembly) and the final results are better looking than the photo on the web page. The biggest NO-NO I can offer is this: When assembling, DO NOT USE A POWER DRILL OR POWERED SCREWDRIVER. Use of a powered unit is really unnecessary and WILL damage or split the wood if one were to get a little over zealous in tightening the screw bolts. The Allen wrench provided is perfect for the job. I am overwhelmingly pleased (as is my other half) with the looks and solid nature of this cart. It is WELL WORTH the price. AND, I do recommend as a definite BUY.

I just finished assembling the cabinet. I'm now over 80 years old but through the years have designed and built various single pieces of hardwood furniture as a hobby, have assembled various high quality pieces of kit furniture, and more recently have assembled several pieces of poor to mediocre quality "modern" furniture. This cabinet was a surprise! Overall the wood quality was excellent. I'm not familiar with the species of beech wood used for the cabinet, but it's a tight-grained wood that, from it's weight, appears to be a hard wood. It reminds me somewhat of hard maple. The manufacture of the kit pieces was likewise excellent, and the fit of the pieces was superior to most "assembly required" furniture I've seen. I did need to loosen some of the screws once the cabinet assembly was finished to adjust components for a better fit. The cabinet assembly took me less than an hour! It was easy to assemble without the help of a second person. I'm not partial to the natural finish of such a light colored wood, but that's a subjective assessment. The cabinet is attractive, sturdy, and functional. For the price, it would be impossible to purchase any hardwood in the U.S. and build this cabinet for anywhere close to the price that Amazon is charging for it.

Great cart! The cart is easy to assemble. Took me about an hour, despite that many of the parts were not labeled. It is sturdy. I was a little worried about the sturdiness as I was putting it together, but once it was fully assembled, I have no concerns. Plenty of storage space. Better than expected. Looks nice. Does not look ‘cheap’. Both shelves are slatted shelves. When I was looking at the pictures prior to purchase, I thought the top shelf was slatted and the bottom was solid. Not a big deal, but my preference would be to have the bottom be solid. My only real complaint is that the top that I received is scratched/gouged. It is not worth sending back, but it is disappointing to have something new and have it be damaged. (This is my reason for 4 stars instead of 5.) Love the price. Part of the reason that I purchased this cart over others is because it was quite a bit cheaper, without it looking cheap or flimsy (material and construction looked more solid). The price has gone up quite a bit since I purchased it, but it is still a better price for the quality than several other carts in the same realm.

Der Beistellwagen ist aus tollem Holz und wirkt sehr hochwertig. Die einzelnen Teile waren perfekt und sicher verpackt. Da der Artikel aus den USA geliefert wird liegt nur eine englische Beschreibung dabei aber durch die bildliche Erklärung kommt man beim Aufbau gut zurecht.

j'AI REÇU TRÈS BIEN EMBALLÉ ET INTACTE. TRÈS SOLIDE ET FACILE À MONTÉ EN 1 HEURE SEULE. IL EST MAGNIFIQUE ET DE QUALITÉ IMPRESSIONNANTE POUR LE PRIX . JE L'AIME VRAIMENT BEAUCOUP ET JE NE REGRETTE PAS MON ACHAT. J'AI DÛ FAIRE UN PETIT AJUSTEMENT AU NIVEAU DE LA PORTE MAIS C'EST NORMAL ET JE SUIS TRÈS HEUREUSE DU RÉSULTAT. JE LE RECOMMANDE À TOUS.

Ordered 12 days ago and received it today. Put it together in little over an hour by myself with some supervision by my wife. She always seems to wear her white hard hat when a job needs to be done. Instructions were very easy to follow. Every piece fit just as it should, with heavy duty screws and wooden dowels holding things together. Solid wood top, drawer and front doors. Sides and back are faux wood slider as is drawer bottom. This is a very nice cart and will hold a lot of weight. I bought it to place my 10 gal fish tank on. Would work well in any room especially the kitchen. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

Instructions simple à suivre, facile à monter. Le bois est beau et de belle qualité. Petit défaut de rien, une des portes est légèrement mal ajustée.

I was impressed, which is rare for an old crank like myself.. Looks great, nice and solid. Fairly easy to assemble and everything fits as it should.
