Whitmor Supreme Kitchen and Microwave Cart Wood & Chrome 13.25 x 27.5 x 33.5 inches

This purchase was to replace the original almost identical cart we have had for 25 years. We use this utility cart as a small island to move around our small kitchen. Great as a food prep island, and also to wheel it up to the stove when cooking. Our kitchen has a very small footprint and this fits into the kitchen as a min-island without being in the way (and when it is in the way, we just wheel it against the wall). NOTE: The actual measurements of the butcher block top is 15" x 21" - the extra 2 inches in the measurements to make it 23" is from the utility hooks on the side. These are the exact same dimensions as my original cart (which I bought at a local Target years ago). As for its sturdiness, it is pretty stable and I have used it to chop and slice things with no problems. One thing I have done is put a clear cutting board that is 15" x 20" on top to protect the wooden top while still being able to see it through the cutting board. The wheels are a little hard to lock, but I would guess that would loosen up with use but we don't lock the wheels so not really an issue for our use. Overall, a great little cart that is easy to assemble, fits our needs, and looks nice in the middle of our kitchen. Delivery was very fast as it was delivered a day earlier than expected.

This is a handy little cart and is exactly what I was looking for to clear off the top of my appliances and the first shelves of the cupboards above. I needed a foot stool to reach these shelves because of the reach over the appliances. Measurements were of the utmost importance for me. I took my chances as inside measurements of the shelves were not given. The depth (to fit between the appliances) is 8” as stated. •The inside depth of the shelf is 7” so it’s able to accommodate gallon jugs. •The inside height between the shelves is 12” but you have to tip the bottle to get it in and out. Not a big deal. The width is 26” as stated and was the widest that I found. I wanted at least that much to have more storage. The height is 31 as stated. I wanted my laundry detergent on the top shelf but I did not want it to extend over the tops of the appliances mostly for aesthetics; but also a shelf or panel could be placed over the appliances and cart to provide a nice folding area. Putting it together Easy peasy and done in 10-15 minutes. I put the first shelf on and screwed the screws in place loosely. I did the same with the second and third shelves. Then I went back and repeated 4 times till I thought the screws were securely in place. The wheels went on easily. I rolled it around and decided it seemed wobbly. So I did a few more rounds of tightening. Then I rolled it around with stuff on it. Still seemed wobbly so unloaded the cart and tightened some more. Ahhhh! Done! I think the important thing to remember here is NOT to tighten down the screws fully one at a time. Tighten all of them down together to get optimal stability. Looks It looks nice with the ends are not exposed. Also the shelves are solid so something won’t fall through the shelves. The heavier supplies are on the bottom shelf except the detergent. What I use most is the top shelf. My footstool has been retired to the garage.

This is a nice product, but it takes a little expertise in assembly. First off the wood cutting board is going to be conditioned with the proper mineral oil and sealer, it comes untreated and for continued use and longevity it will need treatment. Secondly do not through the box that it comes with out, the picture on the box can be a very useful tool in helping to assemble the cart. The instructions are okay and helpful but they are not explicit in putting together all the pieces in more-or-less the exact positions. This is crucial if you want to achieve getting everything level and the castors roll evenly. Do not let what I have said so far discourage you it can be done with a little time and effort. The poles on the corners and holding the racks are stationed with anchor stops, note the direction indicated on the stops, important. Note the right spot on the poles where these stops go, hence referring to the picture on the box, only because it is more illustrated. If you get this right working from the bottom up, carefully, you will achieve nirvana. Now here is a trick I learn, not mentioned in the instructions. The stops will not fully fit into the cylinders provided for each rack and will need to be better anchored, so as to there is no slippage later. What I did was to get an adjustable wrench or a fixed wrench the width of the stop, an placed in underneath on the tube and took a soft hammer (easy does it) and pounded down until most all the stop was inserted into the cylinder, watching and taking care that the rack stayed put and did not waver up or down, keeping the same spot where it was. Eventually everything came out great and I will be treating the cutting board with the proper mineral oil and sealing it. I pleased with the outcome of this product and looking forward to using it, a very nice addition to my very large kitchen, helps moving things around. My note to the manufactures, " Maybe keyholing the rack placements and push handle, so there is no adjustment or best guess placement.".

My husband is in a nursing home and shares a very small room. I was looking for something to put beside the sink to put his electric razor and electric toothbrush on, etc. This was the perfect size for the space. It is really sturdy so I put extra bottles of mouth wash, body wash, and shampoo on the bottom shelf. The middle shelf holds tissues and a box of baby wipes along with extra packages of baby wipes. It is perfect! With the wheels it is easy to move to clean under too. The wheels are very nice too. I have a problem walking so I use a small scooter. I pulled this cart (empty) down several halls to get it to my husband's room. It never tipped over and pulled along very well. I was impressed on lots of levels. Perfect fit, well made plastic, great lip on the shelves to hold things, and wheels work great. I might buy another one for me to actually use by my washer and dryer. I recommend this item if you needs something this size.

My kitchen is sorely lacking in storage and counter space but luckily has just enough floor space for this small-sized cart. Assembly was quick and easy, but the resulting structure was so wobbly that I knew something was wrong. I called Whitmor customer service and learned that I'd installed the bottom shelf upside down: The surface with the edges should face down (which to me seems counterintuitive--and which the instructions do not specify). When upside down, with the edges facing up (like the pull-out shelf), the bottom shelf will not slide down over the plastic sleeves (which secures the structure) because the corner holes of the shelves (and hook assembly) are wider on the bottom than the top. After reassembly, the cart seemed sufficiently stable to support a microwave oven. Because all my outlets are over counters, this use isn't practical for me, but even after loading the pull-out shelf with numerous heavy canned goods, the cart seemed secure. Then I noticed that one side looked slightly higher than the other and realized that the wheels on the higher side had unscrewed somewhat during reassembly, so I retightened them and the cart leveled out. A note on the plastic sleeves: At first I was dubious that two flimsy pieces of plastic that don't even snap together (they just "snap" into the grooves on the poles) could possibly hold shelves securely in place. Now I get that the corner holes of the shelves hold the two plastic sleeve pieces together by sliding down over them. Overall, I'm pleased with this unit. It has a utilitarian look, the design is very practical, and it's a perfect size for my space. The pieces were all in good condition, the wood surface came nicely oiled, and the package included a few spare plastic sleeves and a tool to tighten the wheels. Customer service was easy to reach and quickly resolved my initial assembly issue (which is likely one of the most common). IMO, the assembly instructions, while definitely better than average, could be improved by describing 1) how to orient the bottom shelf and 2) how the sleeves and shelf corner holes work together to secure the structure.

For small spaces this microwave cart makes for a sweet mobile cutting board island with storage shelves. I use mine as a secondary cutting board space from my kitchen counter, which allows me to be able to watch TV while I'm busy cutting, mincing and prepping things together for a meal. The cart is just the right height so using the table top cutting board is comfortable while standing, the lower shelves are nice to put anything on. You can even put working appliances on the sliding rack and pull it out to use if needed, it feels pretty stable from tipping over with things like a toaster or rice cooker, rack slides out easy. The larger sized caster wheels make for easy mobility, even on a thicker shag carpet you can easily move the cart around, these are quality wheels and not made of cheap formed hard plastic. Lock the wheels down if needed to keep your cart in place. I watched the price go up and down on this by as much as $20+ dollars for months, the $50 dollar range is the best I've seen for brand new. The cart is well built and stylish, an excellent buy.

Very sturdy. Very functional. Looks good. So many reasonably priced items that require assembly end up being a mixed blessing. You're glad you didn't pay too much, they serve their function, but they're a little wobbly or are otherwise clearly a bit cheap. That is not the case here. This cart is very easy to put together but is crafted to be exceptionally stable. I was very surprised by how solid it was once I put it together. It was able to support my entire weight (170lbs) without any shakiness at all. I don't recommend sitting on it but I was curious and impressed by it's solidity. You can choose the spacing of the racks (only when you first make it though) so you can customize it to what you're going to put on it. I found this to be very useful for adapting it to my specific needs. The look is more functional than fancy but I like it. I should note that I don't use the pull out shelf. It seems a little stiff. Might loosen up if I used it more but since I don't I will exclude it from my overall praise of the product. If a pull out shelf is important to you I recommend reading some other reviews that address it.

Where to begin. Okay, first off, the size and dimensions are perfect for me so no complaints there. It was quickly obvious that I was sent a returned item. Ugh. Nevertheless I kept going and the instructions aren’t hard to follow. I also had some pieces left over so I’m not sure if it was because someone returned it or it just comes like that. What really tripped me up was that the little black nubs that lock in the shelves have a side that said “top” and an arrow pointing up. I didn’t pay attention to that so it took me a while to realize that I had some facing correctly and some not. This did make putting it together easier but it’s not the sturdiest thing ever. It’s hard to pull out the top shelf (probably because I wasn’t the first to have it). I couldn’t get mine leveled so I just put some random stuff under the wheels to level it out as best I can. Overall, It’s not worth the price. I would not put a microwave or anything heavier than a toaster on this. I gave it 3 stars because I had to adjust somethings to make it work, but also it’s very customizable. I put the row of hooks on the other side and above the two drawers not in between like the pictures. The cutting board has rubber pieces on the bottom that make it easy to take off but also keep it in place if you want it there. If this were half the price I still wouldn’t be sure if it’s worth it (especially if you want it to last long). Sorry for the novel 😅

Great product

Muy útil, fácil de armar y bonito

Me gustó mucho, esta muy práctico para encontrar y tomar las cosas de manera rápida. Me gustaría que trajera orificios de drenaje ya que yo lo tengo en exterior y con las lluvias se inunda un poco.

Great product. Easy assembly.

You won't regret getting this kitchen cart. Recommended for a small kitchen.
