This item is very nice, no doubt, so what I say you ahve to take with a grain of salt.  Also, it comes in about 1000 pieces, which is also a pain.  But, the thing that really sucked was that after we had put the whole thing together, we noticed that the top was scratched, so it was probably dropped in the mail or something.  It wasn't worth taking apart and sending back, so we kept it, but it is a little bit of a downer to ahve something screwed up before you even get it in your kitchen.  This should in no way reflect on the quality of the product which I have little complaint about.  The only thing in fact that I can complain about the product itself is the fact that it comes with rolling wheels that are supposed to lock.  they don't lock very well, so it floats a little bit when you put any pressure on it.
