I absolutely LOVE this island! I put most of it together myself, but needed my husband at the end to tighten the bolts and help me lift it up. It is a very heavy piece. We have an older, medium rectangular  white kitchen with stainless steel appliances and the island adds so much to the space. We’ve only had it for 5 days, but haven’t ‘bumped’ into it once It’s a beautiful piece and a must for any ‘small’ kitchen to add some lovely charm!
