First let me just say I ordered this island in black with granite and it arrived in three days.  It was fairly easy to put together.  Myself and my daughter in law helped and it took about 2 1/2 hours.  We did have my son and husband help lift the granite.  It is a beautiful addition to my kitchen.  I absolutely love it.  I recommend it for anyone who needs additional storage but doesn't have space for a built in island.  It's narrow so it works great in my kitchen area.
