As an island and extra counter space, it is great and serves it's purpose. I really wanted more storage space in my kitchen which is why I bought this. The reason for the 3 stars is that even though it builds up to look exactly like the picture, the storage leaves little to be desired. The drawers don't pull straight out but dip down a little when fully opened. Not a huge deal but if you had heavier silverware in the drawer, everything slides forward when opened. Also the top interior shelves of each cabinet is sitting on pegs...just sitting on top of pegs, so if you put something heavier unevenly on top, it can flip forward. For the price, I guess I can't complain but I was disappointed that the top shelves cannot hold the glass ware that I intended it for.
