I received this product yesterday.  I started assembly at 9:00 AM this morning.  The first thing I noticed was the quality of the product.  The pieces of wood were heavy and a consistant grain and color.  The instructions were easy to follow and the pieces were well marked.  I completed assembly by 11:30 with no problems encountered.  The drawers are strong and the drawer runners were already attached to the appropiate pieces.  The product screws together rather than using cam locks.  I am confident that this kitchen island will be a part of my kitchen for many years.
