This island is SOLID. I am very impressed. I was nervous spending that kind of money for an online product. The same item goes for much more money elsewhere. I had help putting it together, and overall it was easy to do. After we put it all together we noticed a paint flaw where the grey did not cover the base color of white. It is only about 2 mm wide and 6" long but unfortunately it is on the very viewable edge. I called Wayfair and spoke with Jonathan who was very patient. The customer service with Wayfair is top notch. I have ordered several times with them and will continue to do so. How refreshing to have the convenience of online shopping with excellent customer service!
