Overall I am pleased with this island. I ordered it in white. It is an off-white color, which I wanted. It took two of us several hours to put together, which should be expected of such a large item. Pretty straightforward assembly. I was disappointed in the quality of the top, though. There were several spots in the wood that had been filled with a funky yellow-greenish color of putty. I love the way the island looks in my kitchen. I especially like that the island has doors on both sides.
