Was a bit nervous about buying the bar cart since some reviews noted missing and damaged parts. However, I couldn't find anything else with this incredible amount of storage in the same price range, so decided to risk it. I'm so happy I did! All the parts arrived intact and with minimal damage (more on that in a sec). Was able to put it together by myself even though the instructions recommend two people (but I just LOVE putting together furniture, so YMMV). Everything went together fairly easily and it seems pretty sturdy for the quality. Every time I pass this bar cart in its new spot it makes me so happy, it looks so good and classy and really corralled all of our liquor stuff together in one place! I haven't tried rolling it around now that it's all loaded up, but I do anticipate the weight making it a bit difficult, as another commenter noted. But we're hoping to roll it into our living room for a party, so I'll let you know how that goes when we do! We plan on it mostly staying in one place anyway though, so we're not really depending on the mobile aspect of this cart. You could easily leave the wheels off of this if you just want to use it as a liquor cabinet. Two of the wheels also lock. Before starting to put this together, I highly recommend counting and ensuring you absolutely have all the parts, because it would be a serious pain to discover you're missing a screw towards the end. Also, check all the pieces carefully for damage or scratches, and might as well wipe everything down now too while you're at it. Some of my pieces were pretty dusty, and it was much easier to wipe them down before I put them together than afterwards. If you find a damaged piece you might have to return the whole thing (not sure how that works, although there is an order form with the instructions for missing pieces) and that would really suck after having partially constructed it already. The front piece of my drawer was a bit damaged (there's a lip on the inside that the drawer bottom slots into and this was partially cracked on one side) and I didn't notice until the very end, however the damage was minor and hidden so I didn't bother replacing it. Also, some of the metal rails were a bit bent out of shape, but I was able to easily bend them back into shape, but of course then they looked a little wonky. Not so much that I really care, but it might bother a perfectionist that the front and back rails might not be perfectly level and curved. I also had a little difficulty getting the rails to go all the way into their holes evenly, so I used a hammer to tap them in. Be careful! I accidentally punched a hole through the bottom shelf that way. But again, not noticeable, so I left it. Once it was all assembled it rolled easily into my kitchen and we loaded it up. Can't believe how much storage there is for everything in this little thing! 3 shelves, 1 cabinet, 1 drawer, and some hanging glass storage too under the top shelf hanging above the second shelf. Pretty neat! Oh, but our standard wine glass stem bottoms were too large to fit in the hanging storage, so only some novelty glasses with smaller bases are there. But I wasn't even aware of that feature when I ordered this bar cart, so it's all gravy to me. As other commenters have noted, it's much more black than in the product photo. But I would still consider it a black-brown, as it's not quite a true black. I'm very very happy with my purchase, it has instantly classed up my kitchen and liquor storage area! I'll update this review if I have any issues over time... we'll see how it holds up.
