This kitchen island is very country living chic! It definitely brightens up the room with it's bright neutral hues. I did however have a few frustrations with it. While building the island, there were a couple pieces that were cut about a millimeter too short so it was frustrating when the fasteners could not reach eachother since there was a gap in between the wood pieces. It fell apart on us a couple times and even cause a couple of damages on other pieces when they would fall over since they could not be fastened. Luckily we were able to find a way around it and a way to fasten all the pieces together even with household tools. I was also very disappointed that the shelves did not reach all the way through. They are short shelves as they only reach half the depth of the island. I would have liked the extra storage room. On the plus side, it does look good in the kitchen!
