I really like the solid construction and real wood backing on the cart. My only complaint is the top 2 drawers. Id give it 5 stars if the slide out drawers were better. It took me longer to screw the drawers together than to build the rest of the island. They are hard to assemble and I split the wood in the process. The drawers are also shallow and only 16" deep, so hard to find a flatware tray that will fit. I ended up having to make them utencil drawers. I like the island but just realize that the drawers seem like an afterthought and don't offer much functionality.
