BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN MICROWAVE SHELF W. OUTLET IN BLACK Review

BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN MICROWAVE SHELF W. OUTLET IN BLACK
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
- Good value
- Looks nice overall
- Looks mostly like in the picture
- Convenient design with space for a variety of items
- You can pull out the second shelf, but it is well-built enough to not just roll back and forth unintentionally.
- I really like the siding that prevents items from falling off.
- Several outlets
- Would take under an hour for one person to put it together, if you got everything right the first time around.
- Without the wheels, it's a very stable, solid piece. More so than I would've expected for the low price.
Cons:
- The shelves are not actually made of the wood they appear to be made of, that's just a thin layer on top of some other cheap wood. Only noticeable if you stand close to it though, which visitors probably wouldn't do.
- Contrary to what the picture suggests (some white stuff, whatever that is in the picture), the sides and back of the shelf are made of cheap, thin black plastic, which is clearly visible if you look at the cart from the side.
- The outlets are only 2-pronged, which makes this microwave cart useless for most microwaves unless you have more outlets to spare in the area. However, I knew this beforehand, so I made an informed decision to buy it.
- Approx. 80 pieces. The instructions consisted of nothing but TWO drawings, no words, no photos. You can imagine how difficult it is to determine what goes where and in which order. I even had to look at the photo online to establish which piece in the drawing is a metal shelf, which wood.
- Had to redo a number of pieces because they require a specific order. Unfortunately, with only two pictures, there is no way to establish the order from the instructions. Kind of a hit/miss process as you put it together. I wasted 30-45 minutes doing things in the wrong order.
- There were no screws small enough to go through the tiny holes in the metal to attach the power outlet. I'll have to go buy some.
- Some pieces were not accounted for in either the list of pieces or in the drawing, yet were essential if you want to get the wheels onto the cart. The letter indicated in the picture for the wheels was not the correct letter (no illustration there of wheels + pieces, just three letters and an arrow pointing to where they go). It referred to screws, when all you need is four large black plastic pieces that were non-existent on paper.
- There were scratches on the metal, and one metal piece was bent, as though they had been used before, taken apart, and re-packaged for the next customer. I don't care that much since we just need it temporarily for a rental, but this might bother some people.Conclusion: I don't regret buying this piece and I'm glad I have it because it makes up for a serious lack of counter space in this house. And considering the price, I still thing this item is good value. I just wish the instructions had been made (a LOT) better, and that the wood+plastic were a little nicer looking (and not damaged). I recommend buying this piece, just as long as you are aware of what you're getting.

... because it arrives in a Million Little Pieces.
"Easy assembly" my butt. This is a decent cabinet, and quite useful (if you don't mind pressboard), but the assembly is fairly complicated. It took me about two hours. Here are some words of caution for those of you who feel tool-time enough to give this one a try:
(1) Be careful with the glue bottle. The lid on mine wasn't pushed in properly (it sits in the bottle like a cork), and it glooped all over the first piece I tried to glue. Snip the tip off just a tiny bit larger so you won't have to squeeze it so hard, but don't snip too much or you'll have glooping for other reasons.
(2) Sort all the hardware, pegs, and wood pieces before you start assembling, and label the big ones with post-its to save yourself ten thousand trips back to the box it came in.
(3) Some of the parts are mis-numbered in the assembly instructions. If you follow the pictures and proceed slowly and logically, you should be all right.
(4) Use a buffering cloth when hammering parts together, and don't use too big of a hammer. It is really easy to damage, dent or even break this one while assembling it.
The instructions are fairly clear, and the only tools you'll need are a lightweight hammer and a phillips-head screwdriver. But plan to spend 2-3 hours working on this. If you're the kind of person who likes things to arrive in one piece, or if you're a woman whose father didn't teach her how to wield a toolbox (fortunately mine did), then you'll want to think carefully before ordering.
But it does look quite nice in my kitchen now.

It looks slick in the pictures, but honestly, piece is maybe worth $100... Tops. You better be prepared to put every last splinter of this thing together yourself. The only thing I like about it is that the casters are sturdy and work well. The drawer at the top doesn't open or close smoothly at all and over-all, this item is more temporary/ dorm quality than anything you'd want in you home or office. If it wasn't such a pain to assemble I'd definitely return it for something more substantial.
Kudos to the product photographer for making a sub-standard item look so good!
