Comments about Venture Horizon Kitchen Cart with Pantry - Beadboard:
This is a useful addition to my kitchen
Parts are clearly labeled. Instruction diagrams are good.
Here's a tip that helped me. I marked where the 3/8" point would be on all the pegs, so I know I was putting them in the way they needed to be. (tedious but worth it.) Be careful to be certain that you insert pegs into the parts the diagrams show. The other caution is to be sure that you have the finished edges where they belong. Last tip, you may benefit from an assistant when flipping the nearly finished product over.
It is a great addition to your kitchen. You gain work surface and drawers, as well as 'pantry' type storage, and out of sight waste basket.
Put the oil on the cutting board and it is a masterpiece. If your hardware doesn't carry mineral oil, check in the grocery store, surprise, that is where I found some.

Comments about Venture Horizon Kitchen Cart with Pantry - Beadboard:
I got this item because I have a very small kitchen and I needed a place to put my garbage. I did not want to look at an unattractive garbage can and there was limited places to put a garbage bin that wouldn't take up space. This unit solved my problem because not only is it a practical solution on where to put my garbage can so it can be hidden, it does triple duty as a worktop island and a small storage pantry; two much needed extra bonuses when you have a small kitchen.
The unit is primarily held together by dowels and
glue so the only thing I would suggest regarding the assembly is that you use some other type of glue than what is provided because the glue that comes with the item is not very strong.
It seems pretty stable but I have to admit that I have not yet started to use it on a regular basis so only time will tell if it holds up with continued use.
