Good Value But Some Warts
It is made of wood (not composite board), but that wood is laminated with a white vinyl finish, not painted. One of my pieces came with three parallel slits in the laminate that would face out and front. I requested a replacement on the manufacturer's website on a Sunday afternoon and the piece arrived by Priority Mail on Wednesday. The top is lacquered wood, so you will want a cutting board any time you use a knife during prep work. It was well packed--the defective piece went into the box that way. Assembly is always the hard part with this sort of furniture. It was harder than good Ikea pieces and not as hard as the worst I've done over many years. It looks nice when assembled.
Make sure you have Goo Gone and some soft paper towels at hand because all the pieces have sticky labels. Goo Gone will remove the glue but not harm the laminate. Other solvents are deadly for laminate.
The instructions are almost all pictures with a few cautionary words here and...

sturdy cart
I bought this cart because Catskill makes some really nice hardwood carts and this one was inexpensive. The site is not explicit that this cart is not hardwood, it is fiberboard laminated with a white material. The site said it is a lacquer finish but that implies a painted finish, not a laminate. The top is wood. The rest is not.
That said, it is a very well made sturdy cart. I only cried once when putting it together.
Sturdy, easy assembly, so far so good.
So, after a grueling early evening of tennis, I sat myself down to assemble this 63 lb flat pack cart, anticipating a multihour ordeal as per some of the previous reviews. All in all, took maybe outside of an hour, and the instructions were fairly clear. If you've put together one flatpack item, you've put together them all. Shipping was a breeze, and it arrived mostly intact, with just some of the interior styrofoam lining broken. All pieces were wrapped in foam wrap and arrived in excellent condition, each piece numbered.
So, as any good assembler & follower of instructions, I unpacked everything and laid it all out, counted the pieces, and got to assembling. The only problem I could see with the instructions is some of the pieces need to be oriented in a specific direction - that is of the two number whatevers, one of them is meant to be mounted on the right, and one on the left. THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT TIGHTEN THINGS UNTIL FULLY ASSEMBLED.
