I am in love with my new island! It matches perfectly in my kitchen (I got it in black). It was relatively easy to put together. I am a small girl with little to no experience building things. It took me 5hrs to put together. It would have been faster if I knew what I want doing. The pieces can be very ambiguous and it might look like one piece fits just fine one way but then when you go to attach the other side you realize its upside down. Just look at the pictures VERY carefully. It adds lots of storage and counter space. Very happy with my purchase!
