Great cart for so many purposes
We've been using this cart for about 2 weeks as "Workboxes" to hold school work for my son. I had read the reviews, but I was still surprised that it was as sturdy as it is for a cart made of hollow tubes and plastic drawers. Because several reviewers had talked about broken drawers, I checked that before I even unpacked anything else and one of them was broken on the corner. It still worked, but I knew it wouldn't last long if it was holding much weight with the way the crack went down the corner. I e-mailed Seville Classics directly and they responded quickly and shipped out a replacement drawer at no charge very promptly! Once I knew I wouldn't have to send the whole thing back, I started assembling. It took me about 15-20 minutes to snap and screw it all together. Very simple, clear instructions for assembly.
I am so glad I opted for this one over several others that were more narrow, because the drawers are large enough to fit 12x12 paper and they can also fit a 2.5" 3-ring binder or just about any book. We have been using this for our school work at home for 2 weeks and my 5 year old is able to remove the drawers and slide them back in with no problem. The drawers have a plastic tab that comes down in the front where the sides slide into the tracks on the cart. The tabs stop the drawer from sliding out the back. The top of the cart is sturdy enough that I have a plastic crate filled with my hanging files of school papers sitting on top and it doesn't create any problems for the use of the rest of the cart. The metal brace/shelf across the top is very sturdy.
My expectations were exceeded with this organizer and now I am contemplating purchasing another to use for my younger child's preschool activities. I would just recommend you check the drawers to be sure none are cracked before you start putting the rest together. Seville Classics responded very quickly to my e-mail and their customer service info is on their website, if you do find that you are missing a part or have something that is damaged.
ETA: We have been using this cart for over a year now and it is still working. another 2 drawers have cracked and one of the side bars that holds the drawers has broken off of the frame, but considering this gets almost daily use by a child and each drawer holds books and gets pulled in and out 2-5 times/day, I think it's holding up great. I bought another one of these directly from the supplier and it is holding up about the same (and it gets used by the preschooler). This product is an exceptional value for us for our purposes.
