I ordered the ivory island as my kitchen is off white....it is such a match.  The granite in my kitchen is a multi color so the black top is a complement.  My counter space was cluttered, this piece now holds kitchen items I need and my
Countertops are now clear and I have much cooking space.  The drawers open on both sides as the doors, this is important as the island runs length of my kitchen and it is very convenient when I am sharing the kitchen with my husband who loves to cook.
