I don't know if it is known, but this cart is Stainless Steel and looks great with the Stainless Steel fryer. Unless I missed it in the description, it was not stated this was a Stainless Steel cart. It was simple to put together and makes it very easy to transport the cart around. Once it was put together it was sturdy and made the fryer look high end. The shipping was on time and the cart was well packed. I think a picture with the Stainless Steel Fryer and Cart together would do this item more justice. A friend of mines seen the Fryer with the stand and just stated it was a nice fryer, but once he came over and seen it on the cart, he was in a rush to order one for himself. It appears this fryer will last for awhile. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to make their Stainless Steel fryer have a high end look, while make the transport of the Fryer easy.
