Cart is done

The kitchen cart is done. Top is alternate walnut and maple. Legs and
drawer fronts are maple with walnut face frame. Shelves are baltic
birch ply. Finish is 5 coats of satin poly diluted 50% with mineral
spirits. Here's a pic:

My wife is in your camp, but tastefully done it works and can be very

Very nicely done. Looks like a sensible deign too. Of course, until
