This cart was a little tricky to set up, requiring some problem solving skills since the directions weren't so helpful. Pilot holes all lined up for me, unlike some other reviewers. My only advice would be to leave all the star-screws a little loose until everything is in place, then tighten down at the end to avoid needing to use force.The cart itself is pretty nice for the price, shelves are rather flimsy and shouldn't be loaded with anything over 10 pounds. The frame is much sturdier than the crosspieces in the shelves, so you could easily fashion some kind of insert (plywood, piece of tempered glass, or whatever) to lay over the crosspieces and sit on the frame. This way you could load the shelves with heavier items. I plan to do this so I can store my food processor and juicer under there.Castors and knife block are optional, I chose to leave these off and am happy with the cart overall.
