We just moved into a new place, and needed more counter space, so we purchased this island.  It works well, and is sturdy, but the drawers are a strange size, and dont really work well for us.  They are shallow, and not as deep as your typical drawers.  We ended up taking the wheels off, because even when they were locked, the counter moved on us.  Although it is still functional, the counter is a little bit too low, and you have to bend down really far to get stuff out of the lower drawers and cabinets.
