The island itself its very sturdy and well made. The instructions were extremely easy to follow and all pieces were in the package.
Unfortunetely though, the stainless steel top is not the best quality, but I guess is pretty good for the price you pay. The issue I have with the stainless steel top is that it feels a bit "sand" like to the touch and it does not have much shine. I compared it to the stainless steel on my fridge and stove, and the top is a bit lower quality. One also has to be careful because it will scratch very easily, even with the bottoms on ceramic plates.
But, again, for the price, it does look and work awesome. So, I would still recommended when one cannot spend $700-800 on an island. 
The size is also great and it really adds good counter space to the kitchen.
