This trolley is ideal for augmenting buffets as well as providing extra storage and display space in cramped quarters. I have uploaded five customer-supplied photos at the top of this page to depict the relative size as well as some construction details.

Assembly would have been a snap had it not been for two very minor issues that slowed me down. The first was a deformed screw head for one of the drawer glides that I had to insert with pliers instead of a phillips screwdriver. In fact, all you need to assemble this is a phillips screwdriver - the other tool for the larger screws ships with the trolley. The second issue was the drawer handle had to be slightly bent to align with the holes in the face of the drawer. Minor to me, but could prove frustrating to someone who has never or rarely assembled furniture.

The instructions are highly visual. I have uploaded a photo of them at the top of this page. They are in a storyboard format that may be confusing to some folks. I ignored them because having assembled a lot of pre-fabricated furniture this was a simple task. Bless the learning curve.

All of the parts mate and the drawer effortlessly slides. The bamboo is an attractive material that is sturdy and resistant to moisture. However, I did mention that this is a no frills trolley. If you check the photos I supplied at the top of this page you will see that viewed from the side the drawer is not completely enclosed. Thus it will collect dust inside. Also, the screws used to fasten the major components are not countersunk, nor are wood plugs provided to cover them. If you are looking for aesthetics as well as function you will be disappointed.

Function is why I purchased this and why I love it. First, it takes up very little space. Read more
