This island is beautiful. It is lightly distressed, very well made and best of all comes assembled. One slight issue. The serving shelf will not close completely. When closing the shelf springs back out on one side about an inch. I wish the island had drawers on each side. We will not be using the serving shelf. Delivery was subpar. They would not unpack the island and therefore, it would not fit thru our front door. It was left on our front porch and I unpacked and somehow moved it inside myself. Not something I ever wish to do again.
