Review on YMYNY Industrial Serving Cart: 3-Tier Kitchen Rolling Utility Microwave Cart for Vintage Living Room Décor and Home Storage – Rustic Brown, HD-UHTMJ011H by Jihye Rivera

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Looks good but is cheaply made

This shelf looks great in photos and looks good in person too. It's exactly what you don't see in the pictures that really stops this car from getting 4 or 5 stars. The assembly was easy and this is where I noticed the lack of manufacturing precision. I wasn't expecting it to be a premium product for the price, but it fell short of some reasonable expectations. Several holes were misaligned to install the screws. The brackets on the underside of the legs where the casters screw in were poorly designed. Two of my fasteners broke while tightening the casters. I didn't over tighten at all. The metal that the wheels are screwed into is thin. I had to back up each video with additional equipment. Ultimately I was able to get everything in place and change the spacing between the holes to make it work. The wire shelves are also flimsy. I don't think they will hold much weight. Also, I was hoping that wire shelves would be rigid, but they are flexible so if you put something on them they will sag. This is not good. Once this item is unpacked, you will not receive it back in a return package. Or if you're about to complete a build and you're running into the same wheel issues I did, then you've already made an investment in it. It might be worth visiting a hardware store to quiet the rollers. Being practical, I did what it took to get it working. Others may not want to take these additional steps. Overall, this car gets 2 stars due to the overall poor build quality and assembly issues. If the holes in the legs lined up correctly and I had no trouble removing the reel mounts this would be a 4 star product. Weak shelves are another reason to deduct a star. Even with cheaper products like this from abroad, I still have basic expectations like building holes. Because this product didn't live up to even the most basic expectations, it won't get a recommendation from me.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
