A higher quality item was expected for the price. The island is made up entirely of particle board. Upon arrival, the pieces that make up the drawer fronts were broken along with one of the door pulls. Replacement parts were ordered through the company directly, awaiting their arrival (called a week ago). Assembly appeared daunting at the start but came together easily, total time was under 2 hours. It will serve it's temporary purpose, but would not recommend this product to someone who is searching for a long term durable piece.
