We love this. It is very close to the height of our counter tops which is nice. The stain matches our cabinets and has a pleasant new wood smell. Our few complaints: The spice rack has 2 screws that hold it to the island. One of those screws would not do anything as the threads in the rack were not there. The drawers are very shallow. Anything taller than 2" needs to be in the middle of the drawer to shut and anything taller than 3 1/2" will not fit. Only 2 of the wheels lock. This allows the island to rotate slightly if leaned against. 4 locking wheels would be better. Although, we really like the island enough that we bought legs to make it more permanent. We also wish the island was a little deeper. Some of our bigger platters will not fit in the cabinet. That is mostly our fault as we did not measure any items we planned on storing in the island. We plan on hanging frying pans with s-hooks on the towel rack. Will let you know how that goes.
