We absolutely love the look of our new Kitchen Island, and it gives us a great amount of extra storage in our small apartment. There were two problems with it though that we noticed. First there is a crack on the interior. You can't see it so we aren't too concerned, but for the amount we paid we had hoped everything would be in perfect condition. Secondly, the pole that you should be able to remove in order to put paper towels on is too thick in the middle and cannot be removed.
