This kitchen island looks great in our kitchen. I was a little concerned about the color at first (cottage oak) as it is a little more reddish color than our cabinets which are champagne oak. However, it compliments well. The assembly process went well; all pieces clearly marked and all screws, washers, etc. included. The best feature is that it is solid wood and finished on all sides. The only con is that I wish the drawers were deeper. All in all we are very pleased with the kitchen island.
