This was yet another apartment warming gift for my son and a perfect solution for a very small kitchen that wouldn't accommodate a table and chairs.  Love that the leaf extends, when needed, and the two pull out drawers come in handy for extra utensil storage.  It's great that the stools can be stored underneath the island when not using.  This piece doesn't take up much space at all.  I did buy some stool cushions but they have to be removed when storing stools.  Not enough room to store when left on. 

Pros: Great price, very compact and attractive to look at
Cons: Was a bit of a pain to assemble but that's where some patience comes in handy.
