The bottom of the drawer and of the cart itself are extremely flimsy, so this cart will be great for storing paper plates and similar, but I would not store anything heavier in the bottom compartment. Oddly, the shelf within the cabinet is strong and beautiful, and I would put something heavier on it like canned goods. It is disappointment, though, to have such a flimsy bottom --- it really seems like if you dropped a can opener in the drawer from a height of 4 inches, it would go through the bottom of the drawer. But I need to store my paper goods somewhere, so this will be it! It is beautiful on the top, though, and was not too hard to put together, although the instructions were a bit obscure.

The drawer is shallow, but big enough to hold things like a silverware holder if you put them width-wise instead of length-wise as in a normal drawer. The top of the cart is very very thick and sturdy, though, so I trust leaving things on top of it even heavy things like a microwave or kitchenaid mixer.

Recommended if you understand the limitations. Everyone needs to put their napkins and saran wrap somewhere. But I would try the beechwood cart first. Maybe that is more substantial, though one review says the bottom is pretty flimsy too.
