I use this island for extra storage in my kitchen -especially for extra drawer space.  The  quality of the wood is very good and I like the fact it is solid wood.  The wood has a close resemblance to my maple cabinets.

It was a little challenging to assemble and the drawers have a bit of a gap around them.  I did not realize that the top of the pieces hangs over the cabinet so I thought the dimensions were for the entire cabinet.  I wish the cabinet was as deep as the top.  It creates wasted space when pushed against the wall.

Overall, I would recommend this piece.
