there's a story behind this micro cart.......
When we first got the microwave we had no place to put it so
I went out & bought a microwave cart
but..........
My son & my niece were just lil tikes at the time & my Dad
(beings he's a pretty smart cookie)
thought that if we put the microwave on the cart the way it was the kids would be
playing with the controls & also that my sister & that I are tall it would be
much easier & safer if it were up higher then the cart itself so...........
he designed the arms on this for us
well let me tell ya
it is so much nicer then bending over to see what your doing cause it's up to eye
level
now don't go out looking for one of these cause your NOT gonna find one.........lol
custom built by my Dad
