I would rate this product only 4 stars. While this island is exactly as described online, the quality is poor. My husband would describe the quality as one step up from IKEA furniture. This island is a huge step up from what we were using before so over all we are happy with this item. However There are some things that should be mentioned. There are gaps between the seams, some scratches, and the feel of the wood isnt the highest quality. There was an slight odor but a few days after unpacking it went away. It only took my husband 2 hours to assemble by himself, it would have gone faster with two people. I would not pay full price for this item, but it is worth it on a good sale.
