The butcher block work surface was generally what I expected for the price.  Overall, good quality.  Assembly was fairly easy, but a few extra notes in the instructions (the legs are not totally interchangeable) and guide holes drilled in the shelf would have made it even easier.  I would have given it 5 stars, but when I got to the last caster, it was bent.  We were able to more or less straighten it out, but not perfect.
