I bought this to replace a small kitchen island that the previous owners of my house had placed under two pendant lights, and it looks perfect. Just as I'd hoped, it opens the space up a bit without looking too small or awkward. Good quality wood and a nice, solid weight. With wheels on, it's bar height could would look nice with a stool or two. I wish it'd been a little easier to put together, but as far as self-assemble furniture goes, not bad. I'm very happy with this cart!
