Homestyles Dolly Madison Off-White Mobile Kitchen Island Cart with Wood Drop Leaf Breakfast Bar

I researched a mobile kitchen island/ coffee cart for awhile before deciding to go with this one! The reviews all seemed really good, so I said why not: the reviews didn’t lie! First, the quality of this cart is great. It isn’t made of cheap, flimsy particle board. Each piece, even the backing, is heavy and sturdy. The top is a heavy piece of wood that’s been finished with a waterproofing that keeps it from getting water rings or stains which I love. It was easy enough to put together that I did it ~mostly~ alone within two hours. My husband had to help with the metal locking mechanisms because those were a little tough to get fully closed but, I know each piece is actually secure in place thanks to those. This is a quality piece of furniture for the price- less than $300 for the black cart. I would highly recommend and I’ll definitely be buying from this brand as long as it’s made by the same manufacturer! No missing parts, great size & ample storage. I will say, I was hoping to put my kitchen aide in the cabinets but the shelving is too short to fit the kitchen aide with both shelves installed. But there’s plenty of room for it on top! High duality wheels, rolls well and the leaf will be really nice to have when we have family gatherings! Truly surprised it turned out to be so nice coming from Amazon!!

This kitchen cart exceeded all my expectations! The navy blue color is absolutely stunning and adds a bold, modern touch to my kitchen. The wood countertop is beautifully finished and surprisingly spacious—perfect for prepping meals or even sitting down for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Assembly was straightforward, and the quality is fantastic. It’s sturdy, doesn’t wobble, and the drawers glide smoothly. The wheels roll easily on my floors but lock securely when I need it to stay in place. I also love the little details—like the gold hardware and towel rack, which elevate the whole look. It fits perfectly in our space and gives us the extra storage and counter space we desperately needed. If you’re on the fence about this one—buy it. It’s the most functional and stylish upgrade we’ve made to our kitchen!

Well made, sturdy, and good looking, I'm thrilled with this kitchen island. Unlike some islands that have two rods that slip through holes in the back of the unit to hold up the drop leaf, this has hinged supports that fold against the top/back of the unit. It's a LOT better because it does not cut down or interfere with cabinet and drawer storage, AND it looks a lot more attractive. Also, when the top is folded down, it sits more perpendicular to the floor rather than at the weird angle other units do... all together more pleasing to the eye. Since I switch out the placement of my table and my island for large holiday parties, mobility of the unit was a must. The casters move well, and make it easy to place on either the hard flooring or the dining area rug. My only dislike was that the caster locks were hard for me to use: too small for me to use my foot, too tight to use my (arthritic) hands. Although this cost a little more than some other islands, I believe it's good value for the price, since it has a good weight limit, feels sturdier to me, and is attractive. My daughter had no issues assembling it, although it did take a couple hours, mostly because of all the pieces (mostly the drawers)

First, ours showed up with NO damage. Can you believe it? The box was a little beat up, but the fact that it weighs like 150lbs, what do you expect. We expected some damage, but there wasn't any at all... It goes together pretty easy. I have several small powered drills/drivers, the small, DYI type 6V drill with screw driver tips, we keep in the kitchen cabinet for small projects worked great, otherwise, you have to hand screw the screws in, which could make it longer to get together. But it really isn't hard. PAY ATTENTION to the drawer instructions, because its kind of easy to get the sides mixed up when assembling the drawer boxes. HINT: the roller wheels of the drawer runners, go to the back of the drawer box. It used "FLIP" locks, and they are hard to "FLIP" all the way when you are ready to "LOCK" the piece at that place, but I just used a small pair of pliers, that helped push the "LOCK" all the way closed. As a guy who has done quite a bit of cabinet work in the past, I was expecting the drawers, and doors to need to be adjusted and fiddled with to get them lined up. SURPRISINGLY, they didn't need ANY adjustment! That's a first! Now, this unit is what we call an "open" box type of cabinet, meaning, the front is mostly frame, the back and sides are solid when assembled, so, the cabinet can be " racked" ( meaning moved out of square) if you put pressure on the sides, which will make the doors and drawer fronts, go out of align UNTIL, you lock the thing totally, and solid with the "FLIP LOCKS" and screw the top to the frame. Then its a solid unit. It's not flimsy mind you, but until its all locked, and the top is screwed on, it can "rack", making the doors and drawer fronts go out of alignment. What I did was, I held the cabinet, so the doors lined up at the top, ( It really was VERY little out of alignment, but I'm a bit OCD ) THEN screwed in the screws attaching the top to the frame of the unit. I suggest using a power drill with a screw bit for the top. Otherwise, you probably wont be able to hold it AND screw the screws in. ONE LAST THING, the wheels are hard plastic, with a rounded profile, so when we rolled it in our kitchen, on LAMINATE flooring, they can easily scratch your laminate if your not careful. Once the unit is filled with stuff, it gets pretty heavy, so we put cushions under each wheel, so the weight of the unit wont dent the laminate flooring when it sits for long periods of time in one place. Moving it fully loaded, on laminate is a bit scary, because we're worried that the rounded wheel faces could leave dent-tracks in the laminate flooring. LISTEN UP HOME STYLES....Source RUBBER or Urethane wheels!! Other then that, its a great cart, looks really nice, GREAT added space in the deep drawers, two shelves make the cabinet part REALLY nice, the Leaf is big, and works very well. Our top was NOT warped as others have stated. We did NOT use the towel holder, or the side rack. I plugged the holes and it looks fine. The leaf actually makes this a pretty nice sized table top when open. So far, we're very happy with it.

I was a bit concerned after reading some of the reviews. However after receiving and putting together this item, I’m very impressed and satisfied. I purchased the antique white/wood top. Pros -included all necessary items, except a Phillips head screwdriver. You’ll find that they included extra hardware just in case. -put together, this item is very sturdy. I was surprised at the quality of each individual piece, particularly the wood countertop. -pre-drilled holes seemed to line up fine. -instructions were detailed enough, with diagrams, without being overly complicated. -lots of storage space with the adjustable shelves and deep drawers. -looks great. Cons -there is a small blemish on an exterior panel that I’ll need to cover up with some paint. -the locks (for assembly) can be a bit difficult, just use a little brute force, I had to use a small hammer on a couple. In summary, this item assembled well. It looks great and is easy to move about but don’t expect to be able to whip it around, especially after it’s full. If you want a custom cabinet, pay for one. Otherwise, I think this is hands down a great deal and I’m very happy I chose this item. In response to some other reviews: -there was a smell when removing some of the items from the packaging, but it dissipated soon. -my drawers move smoothly and there is a stopping point, they don’t just fall out. If you yank on the drawer, I’m sure it may fall out but not with normal use. Tips: -when assembling the drawers, don’t tighten each screw one at a time. Leave a little slack until all the screws are in and then go back to fully tighten. This may solve the wonky drawer issue I saw mentioned in a review.

I used to sell fine furniture so let me start by saying this is not fine furniture, but it is very good quality. The label said it was a Flexsteel product. I used to sell that brand and was very familiar with its quality.It was easy to put together, even though the snaps were difficult. I just used a metal Allen wrench to help me squeeze it together. The doors hung very evenly. The drawers went in easily. I am super happy I purchased this. It looks great in my kitchen. I will not be using it as a table very often so I am not sure how the flip up table will last, but the hinges seemed pretty big and it looked pretty substantial to hold if I needed to use it for a baking, etc.. I think it is a great value for the money. I thought about purchasing it for quite a while and I’m glad I did. I bought some extra knobs when I redid my kitchen and I use those instead of the gold knobs.

Of course my cart arrived on time and with much care. All parts and tools were clearly labeled and well packed! The box is heavy as heck and I needed my partner to bring it inside the garage where I took several parts inside the house. The materials are pressed wood so you have to be careful not to drop any parts on the hard floor because it will chip the material! The instruction manual was easy to follow, but I did watch videos on YouTube and it helped. It took me a while to assemble because I primed and painted prior to assembling and changed knobs. This took me 2 days to complete my project. The drawers are deep and cabinets are a plus for storage with adjustable shelves! The quality is good and sturdy with a butcher block top. The body is pressed wood. I do recommend this cart because I needed a place to store my recently deceased daughter’s mixer.

I did my research prior to my move, saw this cart and in time settled on this one, primarily because I needed more prep space, as well as more storage space because my kitchen is limited in cabinets and countertop space. I finally began putting this together last night, and let me tell you, I couldn’t be more pleased to have chosen this cart!! As I caught on to how the latches were designed and how to use them to lock down adjoining parts, I kept saying to mother who assisted me in this task, “I will absolutely write a review on this.” Packaging: Superbly done! It is a very heavy box, and is definitely a Two-Man lift. Once inside, you can walk it, so to speak, to wherever you want to set it up at. I was concerned about damaged parts since opening the box 2 1/2 months or so after its delivery. There were flesh wounds to the box, but inside it was flawless, and that got me more excited to know I made a great purchase! Everything, and I mean screws and all were clearly marked, and the instructions were very clear on when and how to use them. Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽 Setup: So much was already done in terms of hinges, dowels and whatnot being already in place, so it would be easier to attach the other side; drill and Phillips head screwdriver needed, but following the instructions were good especially once I visualized in my mind clearly which way it had to be put together. Nothing was flimsy, but I will say, you need a hammer too unless you’ve got a great grip to get the locking mechanisms closed properly. One little ding: On one of the drawers near the slide, I did see a crack, so I drilled a very skinny pilot hole, and used an left over screw from a different section that I had put together, drilled that in; problem solved! No one will ever see it, and the drawers fit perfectly.

Un ami me la assemblé et il a mentionné que les directives étaient bien claires et que le tout fut assez facile à assembler. Trois à quatre heures fut nécessaire pour le complèter. Parce qu'il est mobile, je peux le rapprocher où j'en ai besoin. Il est solide et peux contenir un grand nombre d'articles. Je l'aime beaucoup!

Love it

Great cart for dollar amount. I was a bit sacred when the package came damaged but the packaging on the cart kept it safe. WE put it together easily and it has lots of space. Moves easily across the hardwood floor.

Very well build . Easy to put together. Nice looking island

I must say, usually these knock down type pieces are furniture are a pain to put together but this kitchen island was the easiest ever! The unit was carefully packed, not one scratch on it. every piece was labeled correctly. Every hole lined up properly and after assembly it is so very sturdy! I'm not sure what units some of these reviews are talking about though. It was childs play! Only reason why I gave it a 4.5 rating is that it was all in one box and this old lady had a hell of a time getting it from point a to point b. Thank you HomeSense and thank you Amazon! Well worth the money! Perfect for our Cabin!
