I love love love my kitchen island. I've had it for 3 months now. 
I through away my old dining table for a more modern look.  O don't have small children in the home my daughter is 17 and she just lives to sit at the island while I am cooking or even to do her homework.  This island is sturdy functional practical and just and all around good piece. I did have a small problem with the track but I called Mayfair and they replaced it quickly.
