Strathwood Talbot Hardwood Bar Trolley Customer Review: Rocking Drink Trolley Rocks
I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I have to disagree with the below one that slams this trolley, because I think it’s a fantastic little piece of functional backyard furniture–at a really good price. The point in a different review about it not folding up for storage purposes is valid, but since it wheels, it’s really easy to move (I have a storage area under some stairs that lead from the house to the yard, and just wheel it under there. Of course, covering it with a little weatherproofing means that for most of the summer, even in summer rains, I just leave it outside). The bottle-holding area is what I like best, because you can just load it up with bottles, put an ice bucket and glasses and garnishes on the top shelf (or bottom shelf), and then wheel it from party-goer to party-goer and make fresh drinks. The fact that it has three bottle holders makes it ideal for the perfect, classic, Margarita for example, since the Margarita has three main ingredients (tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice)–see how nice that matches the three bottle holders? This trolley is just ideal for this situation and for all summer parties (as I demonstrated just last weekend. And let me tell you, everyone was digging the trolley). It’s lots of fun, and I suggest it for anyone who has yard parties.
Customer Review: don’t be fooled by photos
This trolley looks nice on photos and the price seems great. Don’t be fooled. It was made in Viet Nam and should have stayed in Viet Nam. The spacers are horrendous, all metal parts are covered with oil, the cart is heavy, does not fold… You truly get what you paid for.

If you are looking for a cheap product this is one.

PS The assembly instructions direct you to a web site that does not exist. You are left with 4 x 6 “illustration”. You will figure it out at the end. IKEA furniture assembly is a piece of cake compare to this.
