Customer Reviews for HOMESTYLES Create-a-Cart White Kitchen Cart with Black Granite Top

Great island, well built!

This kitchen cart is well-made and far more solid and durable than I thought it would be. The granite top is the real deal! I opted to leave off the towel rack because it fit my space better and the spice rack came with two of the same side, but I went to the manufacturer website and requested the right part online and it came within 2 days! I do wish the drawers were bigger, as I do not have any other drawers in my kitchen, but having four helps. I had to find a silverware holder that would fit the top drawer, but I was able to find one. You will definitely need two people to put this together; took me and my husband about 3 hours to get it out of the packing to completely put together.

I'm so glad I decided to get this one. It's the perfect size for my small kitchen, and it looks great. It took me about 4 hours to put it together, although I was watching youtube at the same time and alot of time was spent taking stickers off and wiping each piece down as I built it. As long as you follow the directions exactly, you wont have any issues. I included pictures with measurements that I could think of someone needing just in case someone was needing to know. Apparently I cant upload more than 1 picture so I tried making a collage. I think I got them all lol

Really awesome product! Very happy with how it turned out. My only complaint is that the directions were a little confusing at times and the color isn’t pure white. Other than that it looks awesome in my kitchen!

After spending the entire afternoon putting this cart together - we realized the hinges on the right door are “ off” so there’s a half inch gap between the magnet and metal plate that secures the door. Thankfully, my husband has cabinet experience and was able to adjust the hinge so it grabs - but it isn’t a secure fit like the left front door. So it’s loose and frankly annoying. Do I want to return it? Do I get another afternoon of watching my husband put this thing together? We are also missing screws and the back of a drawer - which I sent an email and expect to receive. I’m going to email the distributor about the door. It’s nice looking. But for the amount of money spent and time needed to put it together - you’re better off buying one assembled. I’ll update my review once I hear from Homestyles.

It is a kit with many pieces. It took me about 5 hours to put it together. Everything is well packaged and labelled, and the directions are easy. Two problems: Counter top V brace holes did not line up properly. Finally, I had to drill the hole a little bigger to get the bolt to slip into its sheath. (2) The drawer runners don't work well when you set the drawers into them. We tried to fit the drawers into the runners repeatedly and still are not happy with the way they don't fit properly. The cement top is lovely. Lots of space to use in the door areas. Still worried about those drawers.

This is a very good product and we are very pleased with it. Well made and good quality. A 73 year old woman put it together without any big problems! I would call it off white rather than white though. The holes for the drawer screws were all too small and had to be drilled larger. Also the top no where near lined up with the holes to secure it, but being granite it will stay without being screwed down. These are the only negative comments, and as I said we are very happy with it and would recommend it. It's sturdy and moves easily on the castors but also locks in place securely and gives us both added counter space and two spacious cupboards besides the drawers.

Would have given it 5 stars if the pre drilled holes hadn’t been way off.

I picked up my order. Daughter took out of box and assembled while I was out of town. She had to Google instructions to assemble as none were in the box. Found some similar and was able to put it together. It was supposed to be white. She didn't order so didn't know, assembled and threw out the box, so now I have a beige cart. See the image, it is very beige. Not white.

It took my husband a bit of time to put it together (a couple hours or more) and he's a REALLY handy guy. There were a couple of holes that weren't drilled correctly, but he said it was 'no big deal' to re-drill them. The bottom of the big drawer wasn't packaged, so he contacted the company and another one was sent right away. We didn't add the paper towel holder or the spice rack because it fits better into the space we're using it. We purchased some wood plugs to fill in the holes and voila! We picked up the cart at our local Home Depot and unpacked it as soon as we got home. It was packaged VERY well and there were no broken parts or damage to the 2 cartons (one for the car, the other for the granite). They were big boxes too, so I'm glad we took our mid-size SUV to pick it up. All of that being said, WE LOVE THIS CART! It seems as though it was made for the space it's in. The bottom drawer, especially, is pretty deep. The casters are really sturdy, not cheap they're-gonna-fall-off-as-soon-as-we-move-this-thing casters. This cart is heavy, well-made, and exactly what we've been wanting.

The granite is flawed and has a patch where they tried to fix it with the wrong color stone. We had order white and it is more a gray color. It was a long way from being white. Tried to contact the company and did not get a reply. Now have to paint the cart and get a new top.

Looks just as advertised. It’s a very nice cart and I am enjoying using it for all my baking. I had to enlist help with assembly ( but then I always do). Your mileage may vary...

We ❤ the Warm Oak Kitchen Cart with the Granite top that we ordered! We bought it for my mother in law for Christmas because she needed a little more work space and storage in her kitchen. It couldn't have turned out better. It looks beautiful and is the perfect spot for her Kitchen Aide. We are very happy with this cart and would highly recommend it!

Very solidly but. It does need to be assembled. My kitchen is small so this provides an extra work area when I need it. (Baking for the holidays, for example) I put it in a small niche when not in use. it contains extra storage space, which was a main reason i bought it. The mobility on wheels was my primary motive for purchase and the wheels work smoothly. They may be locked if desired. I LOVE it...gives me everything i was looking for and is elegant with the granite top.

Sturdy attractive great for added counter space.

It was easy to assemble and sturdy. Yes, I would recommend this product to all our friends.

Packaging was top notch. I was really surprised at the weight of the granite top. assembly was sold. did it with my 10yr old son. you will need assistance with the top install but everything else can be done by one person. we have natural wood top counters so we like this finish and the granite top add a raw meat surface.

The kitchen cart was amazingly simple to put together. Surprisingly all the holes matched all the screws fit and we had no difficulty at all. The instructions were even very good. It looks wonderful and I would highly recommend it in the future.

This cart was exactly what I wanted. It was in perfect condition on arrival, well made and all the parts were there. It took a handy friend about an hour to put together. The wood top is beautifully grained with a nice color stain. So beautiful in fact that I decided to get a glass top to protect it and yet still be able to see the wood through it. It has a lot of storage and I am enjoying having that too. All-in-all very happy with this purchase.

Easy to assemble, perfect for extra cabinet/counter space and have the matching buffet/hutch. Love it, looks awesome!

This unit was very well constructed, very easy to put together, and very good quality I would definitely recommend this for anyone.

Do like it. It was a lot tof put together, but worth it. I do recommend this product.

Cart would have been easy to assembly except for the fact that the holes didn't line up and required time consuming modification to assembly properly. Someone not adept with tools would have given up. The cart is heavy and repacking it into the box it came in would have been problematic. Otherwise the finished product is nice. I've had it for a month and it does what I wanted. Btw I replaced the handles as the supplied ones are kind of ugly.

EASY TO ASSEMBLE. BOTTOM DRAWER IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT

Great value and quality!

I love this cabinet, beautiful and functional. Today, I unlocked the wheels for the first time to move it and the two rear wheels snapped off, screws and wood splintered. I removed the front wheels and have it sitting on the floor. I really like this cabinet so I will have to build a platform so it is the height I want.

When I read some of the previous reviews, I was worried about ordering and purchasing the product. I did a "chat" with customer service and she was helpful - she was not pushy and said she too hadn't seen it so couldn't testify to the workmanship or color match. She did say, just open it and look at the pieces before beginning assembly. Worse case UPS will come back and pick it up. The product arrived on time and sat on our front step for 2 work days as we were too tired to begin the project. On the weekend we had to open the box outside as it is too heavy to carry inside. My husband looked at the pieces to make sure the whole set was there, while I took a board into the kitchen to match-up the color to my white cupboards. We had bought the house a month ago and needed a center area for chopping/ keeping small items. We decided to go ahead and assemble. My husband is pretty good with this sort of work and it took him about an hour & half. All parts and tool were fine. I don't think he even had to bring out any of his special tools. The wheels lock up very well. The drawers slide nicely. I've put note pad, cook books, kitchen mats, kids lunch boxes in the drawers - nothing too heavy. The kitchen towel holder is super handy. We had guests over that weekend and everyone thought the cart actually came with the cabinet / original kitchen lay out. I am submitting photos, particularly of the back as there were none on Home Depot's website. Overall I am very satisfied with the cart.

I would recommended but I was disappointed with two issues: 1) The cabinet is NOT bright white - the top is bright white with grayish marbling.p and 2) The drawers are not long enough to put your aluminum foil, plastic wrap in. I would not have bought this had I known before buying. Too much of a hassle to send back. I did ask about the color and was told it was bright white - it is not it is slightly creamy.

I'm 83 years old. This purchase was made for my daughter. She is by herself so the assembly was left up to me. With many years of experience I wasn't looking for ward to this. Just start with the instructions best I have ever seen. Didn't find any miss information. Next the engineering of the parts also without any flaws. Next the making of parts was perfect. Even the pilot hole were set to tighten the unit when the screws inserted. The unit after assembled was a work of art. By the way I purchased some wood glue to help with the assembly NOT USED

Great quality and no damage in transit although cartons looked a bit rough. The only assemble issue was that panel that fit into the base pin holes did not lineup with the panel pins. It was necessary to redrill the pin holes. All other predrill holes lined up. I managed to assemble by myself except for help to lift the marble top into place.
