I love this kitchen island! It works well in my space and looks exactly as pictured. I gave it 4 stars because putting it together was not easy (you will need help) and when we went to reposition it, the top lifted off. It was able to pop back in place and still has a nice appearance and functionality... just needs wood glue to secure it. For the price though, it’s awesome!!! The butcher block was intact without blemishes. The pieces are packaged well and easily identifiable. I would definitely recommend. Overall, I think with proper care it’ll be around for a long time.
