Love this island and I get tonnes of compliments. Put it together pretty much on my own and my 6 year old helped a little bit - I'm on the handier side when it comes to putting together furniture, but this is fairly straight forward.  Like the other reviewers mentioned, it's an inexpensive adhesive but it looks great and is durable - it came off on one of the ends so I need to replace that at some point but otherwise it looks great and is really functional in my small space. Good value for the price.
