Monterey Kitchen Cart

Function (3 stars) will give us additional usable storage. I am disappointed in the very limited ability to adjust the single shelf. Assembly and overall quality is another story (2 stars). Assembly: Overall the instructions are very good. I have tried to use many that are more difficult to follow and understand. The clarity does not help resolve the following problems I had doing the assembly. 1) instructions were not correct for the installation of the magnetic catch. The instructions had it mounted on the Front Top Rail (part H). The pre-drilled hold for the catch were on the Center Panel (Part D). The Assembly Instructions need to be revised on pages 7 and 10. 2) 2 of the Drawer Right Side Panels (Part Q) were incorrectly assembled. The draw slide was mounted at the top of the drawer not on the bottom. I moved them to the bottom, but now have 3 unused (1 very visible) screw holes on 2 of drawers. 3) One drawer front was not securely fastened to drawer casing. It is coming apart. I am going to have to glue and re-nail that front. 4) The screws provided to mount the handles (knobs) on the drawers and door was not long enough for the door. It must be a metric size, I didn't have any that would work. I installed a knob that I had that doesn't match the drawers. 5) The ink on the drawings in the Assembly Instructions on page 8 were so faint that it was almost impossible to use the diagrams. General quality issues: 1) Drawer backs did not align vertically. It looks like the Drawer Bottom Panel (part P) is a little too long. 2) On the bottom door hinge the pilot holes were not centered on the holes in the hinge. Those screws are not flush to the hinge. 3) the locks on the casters aren't high quality and will drop down and scratch hardwood floors. I am going to replace these casters. Appearance issues: 1) The joints in the frames of the drawer fronts are not tight. One some drawers there are gaps are large and are very visible. 2) There is nothing provided to fill the exposed screw holes (6 on each side) of the cart. The ones at the top are very noticeable.
