I bought two islands for our pantry. i am pleased with the looks and sturdiness of the islands. The assembly was easy and well thought out. Time spent in assembly was two hours for the first island and one for the second. The biggest problem I had was assembling the drawers. The arrow in the diagram indicates that one should assemble the three sides of the drawer and then slide in the bottom piece. This was impossible for me to do. Finally, I inserted the bottom into the front and then screwed in the right and then the left side. In one instance I had to shave off the bottom of the vertical post in the front. I remain a little skeptical of the drawer sturdiness over time, even though the structure is rigid enough. I will buy from you again and will gladly recommend to others.
Thank you,
