Chariot-bar

When I purchased this cart, there were no reviews. So here's my contribution to the cause. I give it four stars--I'd go three but every doggone person who sees it (young, old, male, female) comments on how great it looks. Pros: pretty wood; clean, simple lines (matches my industrial metal island and stainless appliances); on casters (so it's easy to move); has covered and uncovered storage (e.g. drawers and shelves). Cons: on casters (I know, I said that was a pro!) and therefore moves around a bit even with the wheels locked; the drawers have no glides (description says soft glide--the drawers literally are wood boxes inserted into the opening with wiggle room on both sides and could fall out if left open too far); the wood top had a few spots where the stain didn't take properly (white spots--the coffee maker covered one of them and I covered the other one with a tea towel like the towel is there casually on purpose (sigh)). Oh, and the shipment came via a special carrier, not FedEx or UPS (thus requiring scheduling to receive it); and everything is in the box in flat pieces--I literally put the whole thing together, including the drawers. Took me about 3 not at all unpleasant hours (the directions were great and I'm no carpenter). Worth the money? I'm not 100% convinced of that. But again, people literally remark (repeatedly) about how awesome they think it is...unsolicited....without me providing my list of pros and cons.
