This item was not as it was presented. It's called an island yet the back side is unfinished. The same way a piece of furniture would look if it was meant to be against a wall where you never see the back so it's fine for it to be the thin flexible piece of backing that gets nailed on... However to call it an island and what I was using it for, as an island, it now does not look good at all and looks like I a bought something and just tried to make it an island.
