The island is easy to put together, but two people were needed. The instructions are easy to follow and the parts are well packed. It matched our cupboards to a tee and the quality is outstanding. The size is perfect for our kitchen not too big but can hold a good group of items. I would recommend this product to others. The price was excellent and since we live in Canada the ability to ship to Michigan was a great selling point. The free shipping and speed was also a decision maker.I can't say enough about the island except outstanding.
