Received this the other day and am very pleased. The island arrived in two boxes without any damage from shipping and it took us 2 hours to assemble. This island is substantial and heavy enough to not move around on you while your trying to work, like with the roll around cart types. One of my favorite things about this island are the pass-thru drawers...there are 2 drawers that open from either side, very clever.

Overall, this piece was worth the money we paid, it looks great in our kitchen while providing the perfect spot to work.
