I am very pleased with this island; it is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. Its size is perfect, even for a smallish kitchen and it was not difficult to assembly. I did it on my own and it took me 90 minutes without rushing. Just make sure you open the boxes in the right order (open the small one, get the instructions at the bottom and they will tell you which box is no. 1). 

Everything was carefully packed and arrived in perfect condition. The stretchers of the barstools wouldn't align because the holes were misplaced, making the assembly impossible, but the company sent me replacing parts promptly.
