If you've ever assembled or used a typical post and wire-rack shelf, this won't be much of a surprise. The stainless steel top isn't finished to the quality that you might want, for example, have on display in an elegant kitchen but it's certainly adequate as a utility cart. I'm using mine in a hobby room to move materials around between workstation. One thing of note: the top doesn't attach down solidly to the base, it drops over the top of the posts. If your application requires a top that doesn't lift off easily, you'll want to add your own fasteners to hold down the top. Otherwise, you can easily dislodge it from the cart by pulling or bumping it up.
