The look and most of the functionality is mostly what I expected however in order to get to the end product I had to employ an electric drill. There is no indication from the instructions that this is needed, also some of the prepared holes weren't quite flush and aligned. The shelf inside is balanced on four plugs that come loose when the island is moved so the shelf collapses. I'm disappointed with the difficulty/complexity of construction of the island and the quality of some of the initial parts. Then there is the collapsing shelf when moved that defeats the object of a move able island. Overall disappointed with the final product.
