Overall I am happy with this product, however I would advise any possible purchasers of two issues. First, be prepared to spend some serious time (as much as ten or twelve hours) assembling this cart. Second, and more important is the fact that when assembled, there are four metal fasteners that are visible on the back. Since this product would logically function as a kitchen island, this really shocked me. Before purchasing it, I had been told that the back was finished. Yes, it was painted the same as the front and sides, however four large metal screw heads show prominently. We came up with a way to disguise them on our own, but be advised that this is questionable as an island.
