The island is fairly sturdy and good quality engineered wood. Instructions to assemble were very easy to understand.

Taking away 2 stars because the price on this island dropped 2 days after I received it and Wayfair refused to price match. Also the instructions are descriptive but not well thought out. For instance they want to you align and interconnect 14 screws and dowels at the same time. Needs 2 people for sure. The pieces also came with chips and marks that couldnt b wiped clean. But not worth the  hassle of returning. 

If the island cost 350, Id give it a 5 star. But for the 500  that I paid, somewhat disappointed that all the pieces werent perfect.
