Although it wasn't the perfect color my son really likes the Kitchen Island and feels it is a sturdy piece for the right price.  He took the suggestion of one of the other reviewers and flipped the rack upside down to hold items since he didn't need it for knives.  He put a piece of cardboard in the bottom to cover the holes.  He was also short on room so he didn't use the paper towel holder (the holes will show but that was okay with him).  It really added storage space to his tiny kitchen.  The reason for the 4 stars is that it was missing a few of the mini dowel plugs (they were a few dollars at the hardware store) and the support for the drop-leaf doesn't quite touch the floor (he put something under it so it is steady).  Shipping was super fast and the item came a day earlier than expected.
