This is the coolest little expandable island. I couldn’t have asked for a better design and fit for my kitchen which needed an island and dinette area badly.  The putting together part was super straightforward and while I did need a little help from another person to get the first three or four pieces together, I was able to complete by myself after the base was put together.  Altogether it took me 2 and 12 hours to put together.  But not hard.  I totally recommend it! Great quality and finishes. 

I may stain the top a natural wood stain, as it feels unfinished—but it’s a great look nonetheless.
