This piece was purchased to provide a small island in a "mother-in-law" apartment. It is primarily wood and well made. I found assembly to be straight forward. I had one small problem: a slat that came pre-attached on a basket end was not aligned properly, preventing the basket from sliding in correctly. I was able to correct the problem by sanding down the end of the slat and touching up the paint. The alignment is off a little, but is not very noticeable. I would recommend this item. 





Pros: Nice finish. Like the stainless top. 
Cons: Misalignment of a slat on the basket.
