Annoying but worth the effort...
Assembling this cart is exceedingly tedious, and if you have better tools than those provided, so much the better - in fact, highly recommended. The end result: an extremely durable and sturdy cart, much more so than most I've seen, attractive in its utilitarian way. I'm using the cart for a large printer and for stacking loads of paper, mostly for drawing, and these shelves can take the weight easily. I rated this only 4 stars because the assembly was such a nuisance. But worth the effort in the end.

Great inexpensive utilitarian furniture
I just bought my third one of these, so obviously I am a fan. I also have three of the console tables, and two of the small three-shelf side tables. Most of these are used for desktop/organization space in my two offices. They're just so useful - there are so many things a person could do with them. They'd be equally at home in a bedroom or a kitchen. You can attach wood tops to them, fill them with books, or boxes, or paper - the really do it all, and for the price there's nothing better out there. To the people who say they are unstable and flimsy: clearly you failed to tighten the nuts. I always assemble these with a ratchet socket wrench and a more robust allen wrench then the ones that come in the kit - makes it much faster and easier on the hands.

I love it!
The go-cart desk is great looking, functional, sturdy and an excellent value for the price. I love the size and the fact that I can move it without help..
I would have preferred to get it in red. The bright orange does not fit my color scheme. I bought it in graphite grey which looks wonderful in my new blue, black and white with a touch of red home office.
Planned uses: As a project table supplementing my computer desk. When guests come, we'll simply move it to the side of the room for use as a console/place to out "stuff" and lower the Murphy bed.
I do wish all four casters locked instead of just two.

Perfect size for sewing!
Needed a cart in the home office for my sewing machine. The Go-Cart 3-shelf table is the perfect solution! The surface area size is plenty for the machine and smaller items and the shelves below are perfect for storing when not in use, freeing up the top for other tasks. Looks great and functions beautifully.

function and artful form
Well-designed, attractive & very durable. Assembled in minutes. Using in exercise room. Portability & wheel locks a bonus. Perfect size.

Great additional table in office
This is fairly easy to put together by yourself and provides a much-needed secondary table in my office for a printer, etc. Some of the holes for bolts did not line up very well and the instructions could have been more detailed, so these two reasons are why I would give it only 4 out of 5 stars.

Still love it!
I purchased this cart in white a few years ago. It was used in my last apartment for extra storage in my apartment's too small kitchen. I'm now living in a larger space that's my live/work artist loft. Its easily made the transition to studio cart and stores stacks of sketchbooks, sheets of newsprint and the wheels mean it follows me around when I need an extra work surface.

I have previously purchased CB2 furniture and had no assembly problems. Not the case with the go-cart. Instructions should have said two people are needed for assembly. Followed instructions to the letter but the nuts and bolts were never tight enough. Whole thing was wobbly. After wasting several hours, took it back to store.

Lifesaver
When you use a room as an office/dining room and it's time to pretend your place is always orderly, wheel your "office" into a closet. This thing is great.

Terrible assembly
Aack. I put together EVERYTHING in my house myself, no problem. Wasted most of a Saturday on this thing, refusing to give up. Finally did. It should say you NEED 2 people -- one to balance the shelves in place while you screw in the 24-- yes TWENTY FOUR-- nuts and bolts. Second, many of my holes didn't line up, which would have required a drill to make the holes bigger, which I do not have. Very disappointed. Guess I will be shopping for something else and waiting again for delivery. Returning right away. A wasted day.

fun and useful
This cart went together quickly (I'm not mechanically oriented, so it has to be simple!) and it currently carries things from my office to my studio and back, rolling happily over shag carpet, marble flooring or tile. It cleans off with the flick of a duster, and so far, I have not scratched it from a couple of weeks of sliding things across the surfaces, things that have staples, paper clips or ring binders. At the point I do, I think it will bear scars honorably. Take the work material off and put a bowl of flowers on it, however, and it is ready for wine & cheese studio opening stuff. You find yourself wanting to give the thing a name, it is so helpful and sort of cheery.............

Clean design and sturdy
We read what others said about these desks being sturdy - which is true. We purchased 2 of them for one end of a galley kitchen - to provide additional counter space with a bit of an industrial look. They are perfect for this purpose at an incredible price too. The color is a nice deep grey/black, they are easy to assemble, they look nice in the space, not bulky. Big thumbs up.

cinderella cart
great little cart. easy to assemble, attractive and utilitarian. we use it in our entry way, softened with an
african cloth atop, a yello pitcher with flowers and a chinese green bowl for mail. this little cart is a quiet charmer giving space and background for whatever you chose. i love it.

Help!
I like this cart and it goes nicely with my harvey carbon nightstands (end tables) which I assembled easily, and sure I put it together myself but it wobbles all over the place and I can't get those bolts tight with the provided tools to save my life! Therefore I cannot recommend it. Instructions are minimal.

Love it!
I really wasn't sure if I would like this shelf as I was orginally wanting something that was closed off. However, I love the carbon gray color and the finish is not too glossy. Also, this way I can use it for things that I don't use all the time, but like to have on hand. These items are a little nicer looking so they look good on display.

Cart of My Dreams
We have been looking for a cart for a television/video/CD for ages and couldn't find anything appropriate until we came across the "go-cart." It is absolutely perfect -- it's completely steady, rolls like a magic carpet, has elegant/industrial lines and is an incredible bargain! I was able to construct it myself with a little ingenuity and patience in no time.

Well made
I am very pleased with the go-cart carbon table. I purchased the 2 shelf. It was the perfect height, excellent quality and easy to assemble.

This bookcase is great!
This bookcase is attractive, sturdy, and easy to put together. I put it together alone with my 3-year-old trying to help me. It does take some time, so allow 45-60 minutes. Worth the effort though! We bought two and are considering another.
