Shintenchi Kitchen Island Cart with Storage,Rolling Side Table on Wheels with Worktop,Single Door Cabinet and Drawer for Dinning Room, White

This kitchen island was surprisingly easy to build — the instructions were clear and simple to follow. I’m pretty familiar with assembling IKEA furniture, and this felt very similar in terms of setup. The color matches almost perfectly with my kitchen decor, and the overall look is beautiful and sturdy. It’s given us so much extra storage and countertop space, which makes preparing food so much easier. I’m really happy with this purchase and definitely recommend it!

Really really happy with this product, it came 5 days quicker than it said it would so that was a plus. Instructions were easy, I was able to build it by myself but another person would be helpful. The quality is really good, and everything was labeled and there as it should have been. The only thing that could make it better is more stability but that could just be because mine is on carpet.

I bought a kitchen island Feb of last year and I was like If I put two together it would make a lovely large counter. I just bought what I thought was the same exact one except it wasn't even though it said it was. Don't get my wrong I love both but screws were missing out my last one and difference on how they are made, they got a little cheaper, some od the parts on my last one was metal and now it's plastic, there are 5 wheels instead of three, more screws showing on the outside compared to the first one. The thing that really pissed me off was that one was taller than the other, this was supposed to tm be the same so highly disappointed1, I had already put it together or else I would of had sent it back. However, it is nice and sturdy and beautiful.

My wife bought this for the spare bedroom for storage and it is a nice looking and sturdy piece of furniture. When you open the box, you find a lot of parts. It looks like it will take 2 or more hours to assemble. They pack extra hardware so you should have all parts. You need to supply your own Philips screwdriver. Use a real screwdriver with a comfortable handle. I wouldn't use a cordless drill because the pressboard is very soft and you can strip out the wood easily if you over tighten. Just hand tighten until you start to feel resistance then stop. Follow the instructions closely. Use the parts list and match the parts numbers to the plastic bags. Most of the hardware is common sense, but it doesn't hurt to make sure. Thumbs up to the person who wrote the instructions. Most of the parts fit perfectly and is easy to put together. The only tricky part are the door hinges. First, there are four screw holes on each hinge that attach to the cabinet, but there are only two holes in the cabinet for each hinge. You need to add a third screw on the side of the top hole (the second top hole on the hinge). You can just muscle in the screw into the cabinet or you can use the awl on your swiss army knife and start a small dimple to make things easier. That third screw does the trick. You can also add the fourth screw to make it more secure. The other tricky part about hinge are the two adjustment screws. You need to loosen them enough so you can adjust the door so that the door closes upright and straight, and then you want to tighten the adjustment screws so that they stay upright the straight. That's why some reviewers say that the doors close on themselves. It's because the adjustment screws are too loose so the doors droop towards each other and they close on each other. One of the doors scrape on the cabinet when closing the chemical smell is pretty strong. Wipe the inside and let it air out if it bothers you. These are minor problems in my opinion. It took me about 90 minutes to assemble.

Buyer beware! This is not a good product. The first unit we received was not assembled correctly at the factory and the internal drawer sliders were misaligned causing the drawer not close properly. We tried contacting the seller but their advertised support line is a cell phone. We called multiple times over several days. No one answered and it was impossible to leave a message. So we proceeded a return and requested a replacement through Amazon, believing that the defective unit we received was a one off. The second unit arrived and had the same problem, only slightly less pronounced. Instead of trying to return this defect product a second time we added shims between the side walls and the bottom of the countertop. After some adjustments, we got the drawer to barely slide in. After the doors and internal shelf was installed the unit still remained unstable and shifts side-to-side when slightly pressed on. Bottom line, this is a poorly designed and manufactured product. Buyer beware!

When I first bought this kitchen island cart, I was unsure if I could assemble it myself. However, after completing it, I felt very proud, and it wasn’t as hard as I expected. The instructions were very easy to follow. I made sure to separate all the screws to avoid confusion and assembled it step by step according to the manual. The only part that was a bit tricky was attaching the doors. The two doors didn’t line up perfectly at first, and one was tilted, so I had to redo it a couple of times. But once it was done, I was really pleased with the finished product. It doesn’t look cheap at all, and the design is sleek and neat, which I love. There’s plenty of space for storage in the drawers and bottom cabinets, and it feels very sturdy. I’m really happy with both the quality and design, and the fact that I assembled it all on my own just adds to the satisfaction!
