After reading the reviews for this island, I decided to go ahead and purchase this model.  Overall, I am very satisfied with the product.  It is sturdy and feels heavy duty.  It added extra counter space and storage for me, which is what I am looking for since I love to cook.  Putting this together is a two-person job.  It took about two hours and you have to be careful with the hardware, some are very brittle, so do not apply too much pressure.  The antique finish on the white paint is not that prominent, it is white with some simulated dark marks.  The door and drawers fit alright but they do not perfectly align and level with the structure.  It is negligible, but for someone who is very particular, it may be a problem.  Again, I am very satisfied with the product, but do not expect it to be a high-end kitchen island.
