The Daquanna Kitchen Island is sturdy with lots of space to store appliances, produce baskets, etc. The directions are easy to follow and I was able to assemble it myself. I love how it looks in my kitchen and it has freed up counter space that I can now use for food preparation. I put some screws in the back of the top shelf to fasten a power strip for the appliances I have on the top shelf.  I am very happy with my purchase.
