I built this by myself, very easy to build. Took me about an hour to build. I love this cart! Its the perfect size for our kitchen. Its long and narrow enough to fit on the back wall of our kitchen cabinets. I would highly recommend this piece if you are looking for a very sturdy kitchen cart/island. It is true to its dimensions stated in the description. The color is exact as the description states. If you need a cart/island get this one! I did and I love it!
