I do like the island.  The only problem I had was with the smell.  I have had it for a week now and the smell has gone down quite a bit.  If anyone gets this product do let it air out for about a week.  The other thing to keep in mind when you are tighten up the screws, if you do it to tight it will split the wood.  It was fairly easy to put together.  Only had one hole that didn't match up but it was fixed by my husband.  Fairly easy directions.
