This fits perfectly in our space. It is exactly as pictured. The shelves in the cabinets can be placed at different heights or you don't need to put them in. I am using the right side cabinet for baking trays, cupcake tins and cooling racks. I didn't install the spice rack only because I didn't want to use it but that seemed sturdy. The back of cabinets are real wood, or MDF or something, but not the cardboardy material you need to nail down. Still aren't super study. The directions were easy to follow but it was not the easiest thing I have ever put together. The bottom of the island is not secured down totally with all screws because it just wouldn't work. The wheels are also a disappointment - they don't actually lock. You can put them in a locked position, but they still move. Also, one drawer isn't perfectly centered. Overall, I'd recommend it unless you 100% need wheels that will lock in place.
