Perfect for small kitchens that need more workspace, Winsome Wood’s rolling drop-leaf cart packs a lot into its compact dimensions. The top counter offers a roomy food prep area with two foldout sides that add almost 10 more inches in length.
Underneath are a deep drawer for utensils and tools, an open shelf, and two cabinet drawers with storage space for tall and large items. Crated of solid beechwood with brushed nickel hardware, this handy cart moves on lockable casters wherever it’s needed, then slides out of the way when not in use. It measures 25-1/4 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 33-1/4 inches high; and it expands to 45 inches wide with the drop leaves up. Some assembly is required. –Kara Karll

What people talks?
I bought this kitchen cart because the two drop leaves come down when not in use, but completely opens up to a usable extra counter space when needed. One or two people can lift up one or both of the drop leaves and eat off the newly created ‘table top’ if you have bar stool height chairs to sit on. The wheels are very heavy duty and easy to roll around where needed. It was easy enough to put together, but at times it helps to have another person hold up a piece or use another piece of furniture to help hold up an end while trying to screw certain pieces together. You have to pay attention that all pieces stay square as you proceed to screw the whole thing together. I didn’t have to adjust or cut anything to make it fit. The top was not oiled well, so I bought tung oil and re-applied to the entire top. The manufacturer suggests you oil every once in awhile to keep water from warping the wood. It took the oil well and I got all the missed areas. The drawer is a nice size and can hold utensils and boxed plastic storage bags. marianne
Despite the very critical reviews I purchased this product because of the excellent design. I ordered from Amazon and immediately checked the parts against the part list. …It was like winning the lottery; all the parts were included. This should be advertised as a “green product”. No trees died to create this cart. Recycled wood was cleaned and expertly jointed (mated). So, grain and color may vary a bit but there’s real craftsmanship in the process. Assembly took my wife and I just over an hour. I did check the fit of each part before fastening. I did have to trim one set of dowel pegs as they were too long to permit a tight fit. I am so pleased that every screw hole lined up perfectly. No problem with assembly. …. At one point I wound string between a pair of legs as a temporary clamp which can easily be done by anyone lacking an additional set of hands to hold things in place. clark
Shipping was timely, box was damaged and there was damage to the wood, a gouge out of the wood, we knew it was a challenge to put together by reading other reviews, good price still for what you get especially if yours is not damaged when it arrives! carla
