The kitchen island was the perfect addition to my country kitchen which lacks sufficient storage and ample space to put a true dining hutch.  The piece was easy to assemble ( I was able to put it together on my own) and the pieces seemed to be made with a durable, quality material.  The shallow depth of the island also worked perfect in my kitchen which is relatively small.  The only con I can say is that the sliding doors tends to slightly stick when opened and closed.
