The kitchen island set is beautiful in my kitchen.  Fits the space perfectly and looks rich.  The instructions were not difficult to follow.  Be sure to place a soft blanket to lay the pieces on so as not to scratch them.  It is heavy once completed so be sure and put it together close to where you will be placing it.  It took us 90 minutes, including the two chairs.  Open the smallest carton first as that has the instructions.  

Pros: The finish looks beautiful.  I purchased the black island.
