I was impressed with the quality of this Cart kitchen island from the very start. Solid wood materials and hardware that complimented the ease of assembling the Cart. The instructions are plain and simple to follow. The predrilled holes are exact and the screws and bolts fit just right. The only thing needed for me to supply was a philips head screwdriver. The kit supplies the allen wrenches that are needed. It took me approximately 1 1/2 hours to put the cabinet portion together by myself. Believe me when I tell you that I am not the handyman type which kind of validates the ease of the assembly. The only assistance that I needed was with putting the heavy granite counter top in place. I'm really happy that I chose this Cart because it made me a hit with my equally happy wife. Five star rating for Quality and Ease of assembly! Highly recommend if you are looking for a cart/island to compliment your kitchen.
