I was looking for an island with a true butcher block top that wasn't too large, too heavy or too expensive.  This island fits the bill and is the perfect size.  Looks as pictured.  I like the open racks.  Easy to assemble.  Only giving it 4 stars - one of the drawers was not cut square and the screw holes were off a little too.  It took a handyman over half an hour to get the drawers and pulls to look level.   Something I could not do.
