This kitchen island was extremely easy to set up and looks exactly like the pictures! It is a perfect addition to our kitchen. We love having the extra counter/prep space. The storage underneath helped clear up some of the clutter we had in our cabinets. We really like that the shelves on the outside and inside are adjustable. We've put drinks on the top without coasters or any kind of protection and it doesn't leave a ring or mark. We haven't put anything hot on the top as we feel it probably wouldn't fair well. Overall a great purchase and we will definitely be purchasing more products from Wayfair!
