This kitchen island turned out to be just what we needed.  It's really nice quality.  It does come in many pieces and took by husband about two hours to put together.  He did the extra step of using wood glue.  We are actually using this outside at our covered boat slip at the lake.  This one was a little pricier that others we were looking at, but after receiving, getting it together and using it, it really was worth it.  Shipping was very fast.  We love it.
