I needed a small kitchen island to add some counter space to my small kitchen. This is the perfect size for me. It feels very sturdy and solid. I love the color. The directions are lacking! Only pictures. The pictures in one of the steps were not detailed enough (holes on the furniture piece that were not shown in the pictures) which resulted in me putting in the bottom brace on wrong. However, Not  a big deal as the island is still stable and fully functional.
