I wasn't sure how good the material for this kitchen island might be, but read the other reviews and decided to give it a try.  Glad I did.  The pieces are solid, the assembly was easy, the instructions were so-so, but the exploded view was easy to follow.  Unfortunately, the stainless steel top was dented.  (Of course, it had to be the last step.). But the box had an 800 number that said if any part was missing or damaged to please call the company.  I did and within a couple days a new top arrived.  Great customer service.  Good quality material.  Easy assembly.  It doesn't get any better.
