We have a tiny house. (650 sq ft and 4 people, 2 cats, and a dog!) My husband loves to cook but we have zero counter space. I had been looking for an island that would give us more storage and a place to make food. This was PERFECT. It would have been easy to put together, but the predrilled holes were a tad off, making screwing in the hinges a nightmare. But besides that went together easily.
