I have to say, I don't know how a previous reviewer's son put this together in an hour.  It took me about 4 hours, but I will say I didn't use electrical tools, and I'm not experienced building things.  Maybe that had some bearing on it.  But to move on, the instructions were very good and all the pieces were there, so no issues there.  However, a couple of screws were too short, so had to rummage through my hardware stash in my garage to find screws that would work.  I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!  And there were a couple places where the paint was scratched off.  One was on a cabinet door and is about 6" long. The island still looks very nice.  The scratches just gives it an "antiqued" look.  I like it very much.  I gave it a 4 because of the short screws and the paint damage.
