Hodedah Rolling Wood Kitchen Island Cart with Spice Rack, Towel Rack, Utensil Drawer plus Cabinet, White with Beech Top

Perfect for a nook in my kitchen. Assembly takes some time but not difficult if you follow directions. The additional storage space is great since the depth is 15 inches.

First, I'm stunned that there are some good reviews for this product. If you love being pi*;$#d off and frustrated, you need this now! I don't even know where to begin. I will start by saying I realized it was inexpensive when I ordered this, but it was still not worth what I paid. Let's just number all the problems with this.1) There is no rhyme or reason to the instructions. For the record, others have mentioned Ikea products. STOP! I've put a lot of Ikea furniture together with no problem. These instructions are confusing and have you working on one piece, then you got to another piece, and then back to the other piece, and then . . . . well, you get the picture. Most confusing instructions I've ever seen. Others complained that they got no instructions; they should be thankful.2) There were pre-drilled holes where they weren't supposed to be, and others missing where they should have been.3) A few of the parts were labeled (since the directions refer to them by the labeled part), but most had no label.4) Someone else mentioned the exploding styrofoam and I understand exactly what she meant. Three days later and I'm still trying to vacuum up tiny pieces of styrofoam. I've never seen styrofoam do this before; certainly not from Ikea! Yes, it might break apart, but not into a million tiny fragments! Even my dogs had styrofoam in their fur.5) Had to get some more tiny nails to put the backs on because there were not enough. At least according to the "instructions."6) The drawer is about 29 inches wide and the base is a cheap, flimsy piece of material, and there is no center support; there should be for a drawer that wide, especially with that flimsy bottom. Don't expect to put anything with any weight to it in this drawer.7) The drawer and door fronts are a different shade than the rest of it.8) Others mentioned the gap between the doors. We were able to get those adjusted so it wasn't quite as bad (no credit to the "instructions").9) Some parts were chipped and dented on the corners.10) While we did not have enough nails, they did provide us with some hardware in a bag labeled for a chest of drawers. If anyone ordered a chest from them and is missing the hardware, I probably have it.My son and I did get this together, but it may be a while before he speaks to me again. I expect this quality item will last me a good six months, if I'm gentle with it. My advice, either spend more money on a quality item or go get building materials and make one from scratch.Oh, and please don't insult Ikea by comparing the quality or assembly of this item to any of their products. This is the worst purchase I've made from Amazon over the last 20 years. Good luck!

I've had this for several years now, and just thought about writing a review when I saw that I had to replace one of the wheels. I unfortunately don't recall my building experience with this, but considering that I don't recall it, it seems like it was a relatively easy installation, that I was able to do by myself in my apartment that I lived in. Overall, the build quality is not outstanding, but pretty good considering the price, with the exception of the wheels which are cheap, generic office chair wheels. One of them cracked when I was moving into my new place, and if you have to roll it over anything other than hard flooring, it's going to suck at that. My initial plan was to roll/swivel it whenever I was in the kitchen, but it had to go partially over a rug, which proved to be too much of a hassle.The rolling drawer sometimes gets "caught," so you have to do a slight readjustment when you're closing it, but I'm not too sure if that was because of my assembly, or how it came from the factory. It is a bit on the heavy side, so when I was moving it, I did lift it up by the counter area, and although it does seem like there is a bit of looseness now that wasn't there previously, it still held up well.

For the price this is a great buy! My boyfriend and I built this in about an hour and a half. (And by that, I mean mainly my boyfriend.) just put on some music and you’ll be done in no time. We used a drill to put this together as well, which I would highly recommend. We didn’t run into any issues with the wood splitting. The instructions were fairly easy to follow, though I have a few recommendations that will make putting this together a lot easier:1. Take out all the pieces and lay them out in an organized fashion on the floor. (You don’t have to do this but it just makes it easier to grab what you need during each step)2. You will notice that the directions tell you to put screws in the middle of the rails in step 2, but there isn’t a hole for it. Don’t worry, the instructions are very generic, so you really do not need this third screw unless you absolutely want to and planning on loading the draws with a pile of bricks. (You will understand when you have the instructions in-hand but I will add photos)3. Follow steps 3-5 exactly. The rails are also marked with an “DL” or “DR”4. If you want to add the two pieces on the side. DO NOT add them after Step 5. The instructions have these two pieces as steps 6, 7 and 8 but if you build it in that order step 9 will be a living hell to get on. (Not impossible, just tricky) SO, complete step 9 first by adding the middle bar, and then go back and do steps 6-8. (We took our two pieces off, to better fit or kitchen and the look we were going for)5. Follow steps 10 and 11 exactly.6. In step 12 you will be putting on the wheels. Note that the instructions say to use 16 of the K screws. Don’t do that, as you’ll need the other K screws for step 15. Do not let this confuse you. Simply use the small package of screws that are inside of the bag of wheels.7. In steps 13, you really don’t need that many nails. I would just do 4-5 on each side and move on to step 14.8. The doors. The instructions want you to attach all four of the tan “hinges” at once and then connect the doors to the cart. Yeah, don’t do that. Drill/screw in one hinge to the top of one door. Place the door in the cart by sticking the peg inside of the hole in the corner. Then take the second tan hinge and add it to the bottom peg hole without attaching it to the door yet. Once this is done, slightly open the door panel, align the bottom part of the door with the bottom hinge, and slide it in so that the holes for the screws match up. Then drill/screw in those two screws. (This will make since when you are actually building it and are at this step) Do the same for the other door.9. Two of the wheels have locks on them. You can unlock them by flipping the notch located on the side of the actual wheel. Then you can freely move the cart around or lock it in place. Then you’re done!!!!I really wish someone would’ve gone through and made a post like this, instead of saying the directions/instructions are hard to follow. They are not, we were able to figure these tips and tricks after trial and error, so I’m hoping this post will help save you some time. :)The only thing I’m not fond of is the gap in between the doors. This is definitely on the manufacturer as I am sure so people’s doors were the perfect length for the kitchen cart. I’ll probably put a small white card board backing on the back of one of the doors so that this gap is less noticeable. Overall I absolutely love the cart and would highly recommend it. It’s the perfect counter height, and easy to paint or add a marble vinyl to the top to customize it to your kitchen. (Or wherever your putting it). Like I mentioned earlier, please use a drill if you have one, it’ll save you time, hassle and you straining your hands to turn a screwdriver. Also put on some music, it will take you at the least 45- 50 minutes. If it takes you longer, it’s okay, it’s not the end of the world. ;)
