Customer Reviews for HOMESTYLES Create-a-Cart Warm Oak Kitchen Cart with Stainless Top

Very nice cart and sturdy. Easily put together.

Excellent product and good quality

Great looking kitchen cart. If you are strong enough, you can even put on the granite top without anybodys help. One of the handles, the screw did not work. Overall easy to put together, couple of hours at most. Solid structure with wheels. I replaced the cabinet handles anyway to bring a classier finish.

Great little cart! Well built and quality materials. A bit time consuming to assemble but finished product was nice.

Easy assembled the top came scuff and dented hopefully they do the right thing and replace my top

Not the quality I expected for the price.

This is a great product. It arrived in excellent condition, packaged extremely well. My Brother assembled it for me and it took less than an hour. He makes all kinds of wood furniture at his home shop, and he was very impressed with the quality of this piece. I would recommend this to anyone.

Product was as advertised. Very easy to assemble. Quality piece of furniture adds a great look to our kitchen. We are very pleased with the look of this island.

Received product in timely manner. Well worth the price. Good directions and well numbered for following directions. I am a 75 year old woman who read the recommendations before purchasing. Noted several that indicated a problem closing the drawers after assembly and hoped the problem was corrected. No such luck. One drawer closed, but not the other. After careful examination, discovered the slider units on each side of the one drawer not closing properly had been installed backwards at the manufaturers. Unscrewed the sliders. Switched sides and put the wheels to the back. Redrilled the holes to bring sliders closer to front edge and drawer now closes properly. This problem could be easily corrected at the plant. Highly recommend this be done asap. Built unit with only assistance needed in hoisting granite top to top. Pat myself on the back!

Now that I have a replacement top it’s great. Not too happy with how the paper towel holder works. But still it has lots of storage

The cart arrived in two separate packages (one with just the granite top) over two separate days. After spending three hours putting the cart part together (not difficult, just time consuming), it was time to put the extremely heavy granite on. After the third try, we realized the holes in the granite that are there to attach it to the cart were drilled in the wrong spot meaning the granite was backward and the drawers would not work. I spoke to Home Depot who told me I had to talk to the manufacturer. While I understand Home Depot did not make the cart, they are still the ones that took my $400 so I feel it should have been their responsibility to contact the manufacturer but alright. I called the phone number I was given by Home Depot which went to somebody's personal voicemail. This person deals with wholesales and wouldn't be able to help me although she never bothered to call me back anyway. I went online and submitted the replacement parts form. I was then told I could not get a replacement part and I would have to return the whole cart to Home Depot and get a new one. I pointed out that the granite was shipped separately anyway so I was confused why a new piece couldn't just be sent (I supplied photos to show it really was incorrect). I was told the only option was to take apart what already took three hours to put together and then start over. The cart itself really is lovely, but the customer service I received from both Home Depot and HomeStyles (the manufacturer) made me never want to shop with either of them again.

Hard to find Oak wood with Black top! It took a while to put together but it's sturdy and looks really nice!

I'm very pleased with this cart. The directions were very good and the assembly was pretty easy (time consuming but easy). The quality is very good and the cart looks great in my kitchen. I'd happily recommend it.

The minute I saw the picture of this product online I fell in love with it. I love my CART it was very easy to put together and it arrived in a very nice packed box. Every piece was perfectly clean it serves perfectly my purpose.

This product is beautiful and very well made. As far as my assembly problems, I had a defective drawer divider and one of the drawers could not be used because it was resting higher than the other drawer once I inserted it into the runners. Once I got my new drawer divider and a new drawer, it was perfect. As I mentioned, the materials are well made. I took the defective drawer apart many times thinking I was assembling it incorrectly, but that was not the case, and it held up very well. As far as the assembly instructions, they should indicate on the instructions that the front of the drawer should be in a certain position when assembling it because there is a difference in the amount of space on the top vs. bottom of the inside of the front of the drawer. If you assemble it with more space at the bottom, it will hit the bar beneath the drawers. Also, I didn't notice it soon enough, but all the pieces are labeled with small letters. Once I saw the letters, it was easier to identify all the parts and to make sure they were all there. I'm a 64 year old female and I put this together myself, with the exception of someone helping me lift the granite onto the top of the cart.

Easy to put together then I thought when I opened box. Looks great!

Great

This kitchen cart is so beautiful and perfect for a small kitchen which provides extra storage. It arrived fast, nothing came damaged, and it took about 3 hours to assemble. I am very pleased with it and I highly recommend it.

We love this kitchen cart and the granite top is perfect for our coffee mess (Navy term). My wife and I are both Navy veterans and we love our coffee so we used this cart for our new coffee mess in our house (see photo). The product arrived in two separate boxes and the delivery men carried them into our house. It took me about two hours to assemble and it was very easy as compared to another kitchen cart we purchased from Target online with a wood top used for baking (making pizza and breads). This cart contains all our coffee supplies in the cabinets (i.e., cups/mugs, filters, coffee, sugar, artificial sweeteners, travel cups, etc.). One of the top drawers contains the Keurig K-Cup pods and the other draw is used for napkins, spoons, and other items. The granite top is perfect for any coffee spills and we have it conveniently located near our water machine. There is one discrepancy from the online description. It says there's a paper towel holder, but there's not. It's a towel bar on the right-hand side and a rack/shelf with towel bar on the left-hand side. I wish it had a paper towel holder but other that, we highly recommend this product.

VERY nice. No particle board, solid wood. Challenging assembly, received wrong instructions and extra parts for final, top piece. Had to figure out which pieces to ignore to complete assembly.

Took about two hours to build for my wife and i. It was quite enjoyable as all the parts were marked very well and there were no fitment issues or and bad things that came up. All pieces are real wood that has been painted with the exception of the back panels. Very pleased! Especially for this price.

The honest review this product needs: PROS: 1) APPEARS - exactly as pictured online. 2) QUALITY - of the cart feels sturdy. 3) CONVENIENCE - of having the option of whether you want to attach the spice/towel rack(s) allows it to easily fit into a corner. CONS: 1) ASSEMBLY - for this product was much more difficult than expected. My biggest complaint is that some of the pre-drilled holes did not match up with the corresponding pieces (see picture), requiring me to drill my own holes in order to put the cart together. This was fine considering I had the appropriate tools to do so, but this is unacceptable considering the overview boasts an easy assembly that “requires only common household tools.” My second grievance is that the instructions for the top is universal between other kitchen carts and therefore contains instructions/assembly parts for those other carts without any forewarning of doing so. I spent half an hour trying to improperly put the top on my cart simply because I was unknowingly following the wrong instructions. 2) QUALITY - of the counter top portion is disappointing. Setting ceramic plates, silverware, etc. causes easily noticeable scratches that cannot be buffed out. If you plan on setting appliances on top of this that will never be moved this shouldn’t be an issue, but if you actually plan on using it as counter space… forget it. All-in-all, the cart serves it’s purpose well. We ended up taking the spice rack off so that we could fit it in the corner and we use the counter top to store our mixer, Keurig, and Ninja.

Have been using this in my kitchen for about a month, after a long time of researching many kitchen carts. This cart took hubby 5 hours to assemble on his own. He said the instructions were very clear but it would have been easier with help. I wanted a solid wood cart with predominantly cabinets, not drawers as I had some electrical appliances to find storage for. This was perfect for those, although the cabinets aren't very wide for larger items like slow cookers. However they are pretty deep and the shelves are adjustable. I love that the cart is extremely sturdy, the castors are heavy-duty and feel the weight of the solid wood and granite top will be held up for a long time. The finish and workmanship is excellent, and one of the best things is it's counter height so I really can use it as extra workspace without stooping over. The two drawers are only 2" deep, so don't have a lot of usefulness, but they are great for bag clips, measuring spoons and my collapsible measuring cups. The tray/rack at one end is pretty small and I haven't found anything to put in that as yet, but despite that, the cart has more than met my expectations and looks like a beautiful piece of furniture in my kitchen.

I do not recommend this product. The countertop has a series of small holes in it. When contacting the manufacturer and they told me that this is the process that they do for over 100 years. And that they feel that this is sanitary and safe kitchen countertop

A drawer front was shipped even though it clearly was damaged prior to packaging. Also, needed to insert cardboard between the wood top and the upper edge of the side panels. That corrected the problem but should not have been necessary. This may have been due to the fact that the top is used with different models.

It came very well packaged and well labeled. My 40 year old son put it together easily, only tough part was the last step the draws but he took his time and it came out nice. The finish coat on the wood was smelly for a week or so but I am very pleased with the quality and it looks beautiful!

After reading all the reviews, I decided to hire a furniture assembler to put it together. It cost me $50 but was worth every penny. He had it together in less than an hour. The fact that it is on wheels really helps since I still haven't purchased the gel mats for the kitchen and have only one that I keep near the sink. I just roll the cart over near the sink when I want to use it. My only complaint would be that I was hoping the drawers would be a little bigger to hold my cooking utensils. However, my big soup pot and large corn pot fit in the top of the middle cabinets which is a plus. I can't wait for a holiday and pie baking as it will provide a nice clear surface to roll my dough.

It was worth every penny! I absolutely love it! I needed the counter space and cabinet space. Did what I wanted it too! EASY INSTALL!

Every part of the cart went to together nicely and looks great. The top was another matter altogether. It was not finished properly and had polishing marks around the edges on the top surface. I was able to remove the marks with some polishing cream and an orbital polisher used for detailing cars. I don't think many folks would have such capability.

I was pleasantly surprised at how user-friendly the assembly instructions were. I usually dread trying to follow instructions and avoid purchases that need assembly, but I was able to put this together in one evening and it is a great addition to my kitchen. The only improvement I would suggest would be to make the top drawers a little deeper, otherwise the cabinet space is great.
