Overall, I really like the Island cart. It would have been helpful to have a second person help put it together. The quality was very good with the exception of the back piece. The front, sides, shelf and top are of excellent quality. The back piece is a laminated press board. It does not match the quality of the rest of the piece. Since it is an Island and seen from all four sides, the back is disappointing. I will cover it with a cloth of some kind. Otherwise, it is exactly what I needed and is giving me the extra work space and storage I need.
