I ordered this cart because it is made in the USA with wood collected right there in the State of New York. It was delivered much quicker than I thought it would be, so that was a plus. I would have to say that the worse part was the assembly instructions, as they are very vague to say the least. We were able to figure it out by pulling up the website to help us to get through the beginning stages. The bastion posts were a little tricky, as they must extend out just the right amount, in order for it to all line up in the end. We had to take apart and redo the posts twice. Once it was right, the parts fit perfectly! Instructions for this vital piece of knowledge when using these posts, was absent, so you only learned of it when you get to the end, when it did not fit snug and you sit there, scratching your head. The videos are very helpful and I suggest using them. Assembly took about 5 hours, with a lot of frustration in between, but well worth the effort, as it is a beautiful piece of functional furniture! I would rate as 5 stars for the piece itself, as it is definitely quality work, but the nightmare with assembly kicks it down a notch. They need to come up with a better way to lay out those instructions step by step, to make it easier to follow. Good job Great Offer Stock, with having this quality craftmanship company on your website...and affordable as well. It sure beats some of the other kitchen islands that were made with less desirable materials from outside the good USA. Thank you Catskill Craftsmen for making a quality product...just need some more work done on those assembly instructions!
