We bought this island because it had the components we wanted (right size, drawers, room for barstools, wine shelf) and it was reasonably priced for what we were getting. It's getting the job done but has some significant drawbacks.
1. When we peeled the stickers off of the island the stickers pulled the color off! The color is literally paper. Good thing I was thinking of painting anyways.
2. When assembling, there was a shelf that did not line up properly. We tried every which way, and just had to accept that the holes on this particular shelf were not drilled in properly. We had to just set the shelf on top of the dowels so it is loose (and unbalanced) instead of being assembled into the island like it is supposed to be.
3. So much packing styrofoam to clean up.

Other than that it isn't bad. Just be prepared for a long assembly process and be aware that you are getting what you pay for.
