the item is made in China and mine arrived damaged. The outer box was in fairly good shape, but it looked like the box may have been opened and re-taped. Upon opening the box I found there were no instructions, several pieces were damaged (dented and/or scratched) and some pieces were missing. I informed the seller and sent them pictures to show the damage and they were helpful and offered a good discount if I was more interested in keeping it than going through the return process. Since I am using at home for a portable workbench, I decided to take the discount.The Cart was easy to put together without instructions - I just looked at the image for the item and was able to figure out how to do it. The only difficult part was attaching the castors which I did by using some 2x4 pieces I had laying around - I drilled holes for the caster bolts and attached the castors then attached the 2x4 pieces in each corner. It works fine and is sturdy and functional. One of the reasons I bought it was for the fold down shelf extensions on both ends. It gave me extra workspace when needed. I store it in a small closet so footprint was important. I also liked that it comes with a power strip built in - I plan to use it for multiple projects that will require power.I would definitely use the seller again if they had something I needed. Accidents happen, but making it right is more important.
