The cart is fair value for the money. Unfortunately it had suffered some scratching and some bending of the shelf ends during transit. The packaging needs to be improved. Allow at least an hour for 2 people to assemble - you need 4 hands to get it started and there are 33 screws to insert and tighten! One of the castors had a poorly cut thread and was hard to screw into the leg but did eventually screw in. A bit bendy when fully loaded with books but ok for occasional moving around.
