I purchased this prep table to use in the backyard bbq/pizza oven/smoker station. I needed something that can give more space for getting pizzas ready to go into the outdoor oven, and when we use our smoker or portable grill. I found a very nice, heavy duty bamboo cutting block that fits perfectly on the top of the table. I had previously purchased an outdoor grill canopy to make a sort of outdoor kitchen. The cart will be part of this \"kitchen\". The cart looks really nice and it wasn't really difficult to assemble but, the directions could have been much better. The hardest part was getting the protective film off of the top and bottom surfaces. I am thinking that a blow dryer of heat gun could have helped facilitate the removal of the film, but since I didn't try it, I don't know that for sure.
