International Concepts Microwave Cart, Black/Natural

Now that I own a pressure cooker, two slow cookers, multiple sized food processors - I needed someplace to keep them. This fits right in front of my basement door, and rolls easily out of the way when I want to go downstairs. At the same time, it holds all of my little appliances, and saves me from having to put them in a cabinet/dig them out every day. Sturdy, functional, roomy, compact. Perfect.

We were replacing a kitchen shelf and the comparable carts were a bit too expensive so I figured I could stain this and save a few bucks. It is a nice basic cart/shelf, it came together easily (it's just two sides, the top screws on, and the shelves sit on the sides) and it was easy to stain and seal. I used a tiny can of Minwax Gel Stain and a can of wood prep to bring out the grain. I've never stained anything before and since there aren't any nooks and crannies, this was a good starter project. The wood was well sanded so I didn't need to do a lot of prep work- just some sanding at the screw holes- they must have drilled the holes after the sanding process.The only down side was the quality of the casters. You may as well just plan on buying some better ones, or just not use the casters and set the cart flat.This was a great weekend project, and I'm glad I could make it match the other furniture by staining it myself.

This my second piece from International Concepts and I am again very pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the product. Packaging was again superior to most similar products. Instructions were clear and assembly was fairly quick and easy (more on that below).Pros:* Solid hardwood* Sturdy, well-designed* Parts fit perfectly* Instructions were clear* Assembly with #2 Phillips screwdriver and included ball-end hex keyCons (the reasons this is a 4 star rather than 5 star review):* As noted by another reviewer, there were no holes or starter holes in the shelves for the screws that attach them to the frame. I used a #00 Phillips screwdriver to make starter dimples, then manually screwed the screws through the holes in the frame into the shelves. I did this while holding the frame and shelves immobile with my other hand and leg. No easy feat with my physical disabilities and having to hold the shelves up from the bottom while inserting the screws. This is all performed with the table inverted. Be sure to do the middle shelf first as it will make the bottom shelf (which is on top during assembly) easier to attach.* The included casters are a bit small for the size of the cart and the weight that could potentially be placed on it. I would have replaced them but the cart will be stationary most of the time as it will hold a computer tower and network hub. It will only be moved when I do housekeeping or maintenance on the computer.Overall, I very pleased with the cart and would readily buy it again. I will probably be buying other items from International Concepts. The product is made in Vietnam and is very well made with the exception of the cons above which were no big deal to me.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This is a solid wood piece of furniture. We removed a wine cooler from our kitchen and wanted to find a cart that was the right size to fill the space. Thanks to the other reviewers I was able to figure out that if I cut the top I would be able to make it work. When we took it out of the box it was in great condition. This is a solid piece. It took us about 30 minutes to put it together. We then removed the wheels that came with it and got big industrial wheels also from Amazon that we screwed onto the bottom. Then we stained the entire piece in a cherry to match our cabinetry. Our microwave fit perfectly on the first shelf although we had to remove the front piece of wood because it made it just a half inch to small. With a little bit of DIY we were able to get this cart to look like it was custom made for our kitchen. We love it. I looked everywhere for something comparable and this was the best I could find. Also, I'm very happy we didn't have to settle for a particle board cart. I would recommend this product.

I love my new kitchen cart! I moved into my new home and discovered that my beautiful red KitchenAid and blender don't fit under there upper cabinets on the counter! This cart is the perfect solution. It was easy to assemble, although there was an issue with a hole for the caster. My husband was nearly ready to have me return it, but he was able to work around the problem. The cart looks classy as it is, but I have plans to stain it to match my kitchen and give it a coat of polyurethane.

I'm single, and don't use the range or oven except as a counter top and towel/pots and pan storage. I use the cart when I cook with the smokeless grill, portable oven, etc. I use heat resistant silicone pads between a 14" x 24" x 1" plain board to protect the finish. This gives me a wide range of locations. The cart looks great. When not cooking it makes a great side table.My only issue is the wheels are too small. Makes rolling over carpets difficult. Even low pile carpets.Hope this helps you.
