This island is beautiful and looks great in my kitchen. I love the added storage. And it was a great deal on sale! While assembling, we discovered the cam locks provided were very cheap and easy to break. So we actually had to go out and purchase more to finish putting the thing together. But assembling was relatively straightforward, took about 2.5 hours. I will say the delivery was terrible. The box arrived completely open, and although all the parts were there, several had big dings and scrapes. I've decided though, for the price, I'm going to keep it and fix with some wood filler and paint. It really is beautiful and very sturdy.
