Overall, I love the Island. My only "problem" is the towel rack and shelf on each end. I don't find them useful, so I've ordered some plugs so I can remove them and cover the remaining holes. I also don't find the protrusions attractive. I was on the fence about them before ordering, but this island fit my other requirements, so I went for it. Without the rack and shelf, I'll be very satisfied with the island and the additional storage, especially the drawers.
