4.5 STARS The Almira Kitchen Island was the perfect addition to our kitchen. It’s construction is quite solid and it’s appearance easily compliments a variety of decor styles. The color is a brightcool, distressed white. We opted not to use the provided top in favor of a piece of maple butcher block we purchased from a home improvement store. Note, if you go this route you will need shims, etc. for the extension legs. The reason for loss of 12 a STAR is for the exposed and quite visible adjustable shelf holes which instantly cheapens the look of the otherwise beautiful piece. This was easily solved by purchasing 316” white shelf hole plugs but for the price point of the Island, should really have been included. Overall we are extremely pleased with its versatility and functionality and would not hesitate to purchase more from this company.
