The quality of this island is great especially for the price and to include bar stools. Quality is better than I expected. Definitely recommend.... 

This was not the easiest to put together due to how heavy these pieces are and was definitely needing an extra set of hands to do so. Instructions were clear, however could have been more clear (Ex. When putting together the boards that included inner walls of the island, the part that included the holes to hold up the shelf was not clear therefore I installed incorrectly (upside down) and had to drill new holes for my shelves to sit on) and at one point the instructions said to put on the feet at the bottom then flip the entire structure over.. this island was so heavy when myself and someone else flipped it, it fell apart breaking a corner, luckily an unseen/inside corner was broken. Definitely not a piece you can put together alone. However, once completed I truly love it and was able to hide the hiccups during installation!
