After doing lots of research this is the kitchen island we ended up purchasing. I'm mostly pleased with it, with a few exceptions. After about 2 months, the peg holding the middle of the stainless steel top down broke, leaving it humped in the middle. It is also not quite as deep as i was hoping, which was my own fault for not carefully measuring. Other than that it looks great! it did take about 2 hours for 2 adults to assemble.
