Overall, I am happy with the island.  My one big disappointment is the back panel construction.  The panels are flimsy and were warped making it difficult to assemble.  There was also a flaw in the granite countertop.  The front of the island looks very nice and the doors and drawers are strong.  We have a small kitchen and this island is just the right size.  It adds counter space and storage, which we needed.  I would recommend this product to family or friends. I think it is a good value for the money.
