I had the island for about 2 weeks, before I finally tackled it. So many reviews advised, that it would take a very long time and the instructions were not very good clear. 
I can’t agree with these reviews I did it by myself in less than a hour and a half. The instructions were very clear .  I’m giving it 4 stars, because it had a few very minor damages and the little cover stickers are just not something I like. But other than that it is a beautiful piece.
