This is a good island for the money. It’s not the quality you’re going to get out of a more expensive or custom piece but it came with no flaws and was easy to put together. The size and storage is perfect for my needs. I can get all my oils and vinegars off my counter and have plenty of extra storage space. I also chose it because of the folding counter top that gives me plenty of prep space when I need it. My only wish is it had a solid wood top like my last one. This one is a laminate wood look so I don’t know how long it will actually last with all the use it will get. I plan on keeping a large cutting board on top of it. I figure by the time I need a new one I will be ready to invest in a better quality one but this one should work well for quite a while. Overall I’m happy with it.
