Absolutely perfect! I desperately needed counter space in my kitchen and wanted to match my antique built in cabinets as closely as possible without spending a fortune. I took a chance on this island and was not disappointed! It arrived very quickly in perfect condition. I put it together entirely by myself (I did have my 6yo son hold a couple pieces steady while putting the top on lol) in about 90 minutes. The instructions are very clear and the pieces are well labeled. Everything went together smoothly to build a very sturdy piece of furniture. Some other reviews have mentioned that the stainless steel top scratches easily, but that's to be expected (if you've ever worked in food service and prepared food on stainless steel, you know what I mean). It looks really nice in my kitchen and gives me ample work surface for cooking. So glad I bought it!
