We needed some extra counter and storage space for our small kitchen in our apartment. Finally, after searching at stores and other websites, we settled on this kitchen island. Easy to put together, especially when you have a partner help you. The instructions were pretty straightforward, all the parts were labeled. The first picture shows the finished product and the next one shows where we put it, and next to a microwave cart so you can get a betree image of how we chose to utilize our space. We removed the towel rack because we really don't need it. The quality is excellent for the price.  I have seen lower quality kitchen islands for almost twice the price
