I purchased this for informal dining, extra prep space & for the storage abilities (shelves & drawers) for my kitchen, and am  pleased with the product.  It looks just like the photo and is very solid (no wobbling & solid wood).  It was very quick & simple for my husband to assemble.  The drawers are felt/velvet lined and glide in and out very smoothly.  They are also very spacious and will be perfect to store placemats, napkins, etc in.  The shelves are holding some of my favorite platters, salad bowls & other serving dishes that I normally have to keep in a closet, due to kitchen storage issues.  Overall, this kitchen island was reasonably priced, is of great quality, is pleasing to the eye & will serve it's purpose well for our family.
