It is an absolute nightmare to assemble. Instructions are not included. You must download the pdf from wayfair.com. Then your odyssey begins. There are tons of pieces and hardware. The hardware pieces come labeled with letter stickers that came off and then you are left to figure out which screws go where. Some holes were missing so we had to measure and drill our own. It took two of us (one of us is a professional technician) an entire day to put this monster together! With all that said, the end product is great. Sturdy, functional and great to look at. It is exactly what I was expecting. I only wish the process to get to the lovely end result would be easier on the nerves ;-)

Pros: Lovely island, highly functional.
Cons: Instructions and assembly are a nightmare.
