I love my new kitchen island. The quality is fantastic. I looks gorgeous. It’s a tiny bit bigger than I would like for the space, but I’m loving it. Very easy to put together (under an hour). Also quick delivery. I can’t speak as to the durability yet as I just got it this week. I bought a short table runner for the top so I can keep down any scratching on the top. I do expect some scratching as it’s the kitchen...one of the main rooms in my house, but I’m good with that. I also bought a clear glass cutting board to keep on top for any cutting. Other than that any marks it might get will make it look lived in. I did buy the off white finish. I love it with the dark wood table top. I just love the contrast.
