I am very, very happy that I went ahead and purchased this island.  I was nervous because as we all know, often an item's description doesn't live up to the item that arrives at your doorstep.  The workmanship is excellent, the piece is completely solid and the hardware is handsome.  The price has gone up since I purchased it but I still think it is the  best quality island around. The finish is a bit darker than in the picture but that works in my kitchen.

Pros: Easy assembly - just turn around the knobs.  The bags with the towel bars and canisters are located under the island  Towel bars were easy to install.  I didn't bother with the canisters.
Cons: Nothing!
