I was hesitant to purchase this unit based on the reviews about difficulty in assembling, drawers broken, inability to open-close drawers. Metal sharp enough to shave plastic from drawers etc.
Disclaimer - I JUST put this thing together and haven’t loaded anything in it yet. That said:
1. Assembly took me about 35-minutes start to finish.
2. Allen wrench provided was adequate to assemble main frame.
3. Phillips/straight head screws for drawer knobs can be hand tightened without a screwdriver. No screwdriver supplied with kit. I didn’t need one - hand tightening was adequate to secure drawer knobs.
4. Main frame assembly was uneventful - just make sure of TWO things during assembly - a. There are washers that MUST go on the inside of the two outer frame pieces. They’re shown in the assembly diagram. IF YOU FORGET THEM - the sides will be too close together and the drawers will be very difficult to push in and out. I tend to think some people neglected to install the 8 washers properly (if at all). B. Do not tighten the screws as you install them initially. Install all the framing screws hand-tight first, and then, making sure the aforementioned washers are installed, tighten each screw incrementally - working your way around the unit until all the screws (Allen head wrench needed) are SNUG. If you over tighten, you run the risk of collapsing the frame tubing and that’ll ruin it.
5. Once everything is tight - turn the frame over and insert the caster inserts in the bottoms of the legs. These are plastic pieces that will hold the casters themselves. Press in as hard as you can - check to make sure they’re ALL the way in. Mine were out a little ways. Instead of pressing down with your body weight (risking damaging the frame), I used a hammer and just gave 3 of the more stubborn inserts a quick ‘pop’ and they seated easily.
6. I pushed the casters into the inserts. NOTE - there are two of the four casters that lock - make sure they’re on the front or side you want to access to lock. You’ll have a booger of a time getting them back out - yeah - that’s why I’m telling you this now. Lol
7. Put the drawers in the slides. Mine slid in easily without force, or scraping plastic, etc. I FORGOT TO PUT THE SPACERS/WASHERS IN INITIALLY - and basically recreated what I read here about stuck drawers, hard to operate, cocked in the tracks, and cutting the plastic. I performed a ‘self-induced forehead slap’ procedure, then backed the frame screws out one by one and installed the spacer/washers - problem solved.
8. Tighten everything up again - and then put the top on. It’s a ‘force fit’ top with curved sides front and rear. I put the front of the top in position, then pulled/pushed down on the rear of the top and it popped into position for me.
The unit is sturdy without anything in it. The load specification is right at 50 pounds for the cart. I’ll keep things as evenly distributed in there to equalize loading and see how it goes.
IF I have any issues with screws coming loose, I’ll remove each in turn and put some thread lock on them.
Other than that - the drawers slide in and out and are well in their tracks. It’s ‘cheaply’ constructed of very thin wall metal (aluminum with chrome coating). Some of the press cut edges that are the rails for the drawers to slide on are RAZOR SHARP & I can see how someone handling them during construction if not careful can cut themselves - badly. BE CAREFUL!!!
In closing - I’m going to load this unit up with my wood ship modeling tools and will provide an update after a week or so to comment on durability, stability, frame flex, etc.
So far - I’m okay with the unit. Not super impressed by any means, but not disappointed either. I’m more relieved that my unit came with all parts included, I didn’t cut any fingers off, and the drawers slide in and out without any effort. It meets my initial expectations. I’ll update after a while.

Metal Rolling Storage Cart with 12 Plastic Drawers, Chrome
Description
While we dream of the perfect home office (ample space, perfect lighting, immaculate shelving), we accept current circumstances where “home office” is a transitory term. Sometimes, it’s our kitchen table, others the guest bedroom, and once—in a moment of desperation brought on by a weak wifi signal—the stairwell. And for a home office that transitions across spaces, there is no better companion for the journey than this metal rolling storage cart. Its locking wheels and ample tabletop surface make it the perfect pop-up work station. The two columns of varied sized drawers divvy up supplies equitably, so that multiplication tables don’t get mixed up with monthly business reports. One day, we might have a dream home office. Until then, it’s hard not to enjoy the command-center feeling brought on each time this 12-drawer rolling metal storage cart voyages through our home’s hallways.
