bit-tech Shopping: Home Styles Stainless Steel Top Kitchen Cart with Breakfast Bar

Rating: 8

Time with product: 2 Weeks

Strengths: Functional and attractive. Provides additional storage space and seating.

Weaknesses: Top is hard to keep smudge free.

Summary: I recently purchased this cart to provide some additional kitchen storage space as well as seating for when my family comes to town. I have maple kitchen cabinets and hoped this cart would be a close match. Unfortunately, it is a little darker than I wanted, but it still blends with my decor OK. The stainless steel top is easily smudged with fingerprints but I read that a little olive oil or Pledge will help with that issue (I haven't tried it yet so I am not sure if it works). The cart was easily assembled, but it may take two people to do so. My boyfriend is a mover and he just taped it with some packing tape to keep it together during assembly. I was able to sit on the sofa and assemble the drawers. The instructions advise the use of a screw driver, but I don't think it would have gone together if we didn't use a power drill. All in all, I really LOVE the cart. I am storing all of my pizza pans on one side and my kitchen towels and gadgets in the middle drawers. When I'm not using it I just push it to the side and it really isn't too cumbersome. I already owned two barstools which go great for seating. I would definitely recommend this cart if you are in the market for one.
