Could the doors be left off this cart? If so, would it still be sturdy? I'm looking for a cart to use next to the table with company meals.

I am sure it would be just as stable without the doors. (but they are pretty!)

I think it would be sturdy, the shelves are slats - not a solid piece of wood. It would look ok.

Yes, it is very sturdy. The lower shelves add stability. This is a great cart.

The wheels could be taken off since you have to put them on when you assemble the cart. However, this really isn't necessary since the wheels lock. I have been using my cart for years now and it has never moved (wheels are locked) and still looks like the day I got it. It is a very sturdy cart, lots of great storage!

the middle shelf can be left out and the middle shelf moved up and down but you have to disassemble and then reassembled. i measured the cart and you have 24" by leaving the middle shelf out. so when you put it together just leave out the middle shelf and you will be golden.

Maybe if you remove the wheels. It's a sturdy cart, but not a steady cart. Moving a big TV around might be problematic.

I never considered doing this as we had no problems with the cart and often moved it around our kitchen. I personally loved this cart. It was so functional and useful.

Hello Gloria, I guess it would depend on the particular woman; I had a friend put mine together as I am not at all mechanically inclined. It didn't look hard. Once together, it's a GREAT cart! The biggest one I've ever had--and I've used mine several times a week for hauling big, heavy loads of groceries up and down steps by myself; takes a beating and keeps on going. Don't know if I've helped much since I didn't assemble mine--but if you get it together, I think you're really going to like it. Good luck. Elaine

Yes, I think the legs could be left off with no issues. There are 4 pre-drilled holes in the legs that would face the inside but would be visible.

I believe the refrig would be able to sit on top w/o a problem. The cart is very sturdy.

This is a very sturdy and well built cart. Our mixer is very large but we would need to take out the top shelf to store the mixer in there. In terms of handling the weight of it no problem. We are storing cereal and a rice cooker/crock pot on the bottom shelf. The top shelf holds numerous corning ware casseroles which are heavy with no problem. This is a VERY sturdy product.

I would advise against adding wheels. 2 people could pick this unit up with some not too heavy items on it and move it, or you can put an area rug under it and drag it around, as I do with heavy furniture. Or you can use the little round padded furniture floor protectors that you'd use under table legs or chair legs if you're moving it around on tile or hardwood. Please, don't try to put wheels on it. It is a very sturdy and pretty heavy unit, but it isn't designed be wheeled around. One person can pretty easily pick up the unit and move it without anything on the shelves. Hope this helps...

This is a great storage cart and i have had no balance issues. If assembled properly, you will find this item to be quite sturdy. To be honest, i know it could easily handle storage and movement of your mixer from point A to B. If you're wanting to run the appliance on the cart, however, I would probably not recommend it. Even with the wheels locked, it wouldn't prevent wobbling.

Absolutely!! With room to spare. That was the first thing I did once I had it assembled, I moved my silverware. The whole cart is extremely sturdy and solid. I am very impressed with it.

It is definitely possible to be left off. I would not recommend doing this though. That rear panel is the main stabilizer for the whole table. It would not be very stable or safe to put anything on.

The top could be used as a "portable grill" with out the cart, but the "cart" "firmly attaches" to the grill (you wouldn't want it any other way). It would take some time to remove the grill from the cart (keep assembly instructions if you want to do this). If I have an "event" with no other grill available, I'd take the time to separate the grill from the cart and use it as a portable.

Hmm...it seems pretty sturdy. I put a good deal of pressure on mine taking the legs off a couple of times. I don't know if you could do that without damaging whatever is inside, though.

I don't think this cart is sturdy enough for such use. Two miles over bad roads requires something as sturdy as a regular grocery cart like the kind you find in the grocery stores. The closest to such quality I've found is the Costco cart--a seasonal item but much sturdier than this cart. But I'm not sure even that cart is up to 2 miles on bad roads over an extended period. Perhaps your grocer can sell you a cart that's being retired or at least put you in contact with their cart manufacturer for a discount.
