This island  is exactly what I was looking for and needed for my kitchen.  I love it so much. I wanted something that would be fairly easy to put together and this exceeded my expectations  I mean it was the easiest  piece of furniture  I've  ever  put together my husband and I usually get into it when  it comes to do it yourself projects this island was up and ready for use in about 15 mins we kissed when were done then stood there and just stared at our accomplishment all furniture should be this easy. It is also very sturdy, what more can I say I love it!!
