I am very pleased with this cart. It took a while to assemble (the cam locks are sometimes difficult to reach/align), but once I had done so the cart proved to be sturdy and attractive. I didnt think Id use the shelves on it much, having purchased it mostly just to hold my laptop at a standing height, but they have proven useful for stashing a mouse and sundries throughout the day. I have a full/sized ThinkPad, and if I sit the computer all the way to the left edge, I can fit a mousepad (I trimmed it down to match the curve of the table surface) and mouse without problem.
The extension poles are metal with a bolt that screws into each side to hold them up; this means that the poles will become a bit scratched up with repeated up/down use, but I find it preferable to pre/set heights via holes and pegs in some items.
The casters are smooth and are lockable. The laminate coating is decently sturdy and relatively attractive (be careful reaching in to the shelf portion as the underside of this material tends to be sharp). If the poles are extended fully, I wouldnt recommend it around with the small handle on the top shelf, as the cart becomes top heavy . definitely dont wheel it that way with the computer on it! but if you are moving it a small distance its fine to roll using your feet and/or hands to move it around.
