I'm not sure if they redesigned this thing or what, but the cart I received was simple to put together and pretty sturdy as well. After reading reviews, I was certainly hesitant - reading stories of having to re-drill holes and use T-brackets, etc, etc to make the cart functional and sturdy. Well, like I said, after a simple assembly (the 4 wheels, and 4 screws - all other shelf stays/hangs and hinges were pre-assembled) - the cart is more than reasonably sturdy - right now the top is holding an HP4100 laser printer (when full of a ream this thing must weigh 35 lbs or so) and the bottom shelf is jammed with tax files (also pretty heavy) while on the middle I keep a scanner. Fully loaded as such, it still moves across the carpet without collapsing or even rocking significantly considering the weight involved. It is EXACTLY what it is - a $69 piece of furniture meant to hold a printer or maybe some plants - it's not a dining cart. The wood finish is decent - not that particle board veneer stuff. That's it, I guess.
