I got this item on a big sale, but after putting it together and using it, I would have paid full price for it. I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes. By myself. I have put a lot of things together and found this super easy!!! It is so sturdy and strong. I added wheels to it from lowes for about $15 and I couldn't be happier with it.  I use in my kitchen as an island cause my space is limited. It's the perfect depth to achieve what I wanted.Everyone that sees it loves it. It is the best thing I could have bought.  If you aren't sure if you should buy it, stop doubting yourself. Buy it! You will be happy. You can use it for so many things. Add some wheels and you can move it all around...buffet table, tv stand, entry table, sofa console. The options are unlimited. I love it, and so will you.
