This island works perfectly in my laundry room. It holds all of my laundry and cleaning supplies, and offers a nice surface to fold. It only took my husband about an hour to put together. My one and only complaint is that it did not come packaged very well, and the right door had damage which will require wood putty, sanding, and paint to repair. A new door replacement would require some additional assembly work as the top would need to come off to replace it.
