Beautiful piece of furniture.  The color is much darker than the picture shows but I was prepared for that after reading the reviews.  I have natural hickory cabinets and this makes a nice contrast, yet picks up some of the darker tones in the cabinets.  The island is solid and well constructed; the hardware is beautiful.  It was packaged extremely well and the delivery men were very helpful.  This is my first experience with Wayfair and a very happy one.
