Love it. This island is so sturdy. I had someone put it together for me so I can not speak to how hard or easy it was. He said it took him about 2 hours. The color is not as white as might be expected. It is more of a cream white. If you are looking for a stark white this is probably not for you. But even though my cabinets are white it still looks beautiful and gives me the extra storage I was needing.
