My woodworking husband had this together  in under 2 hours. He also used wood glue where parts were joined because thats what he always does when building things. We had no problems with things lining up, and all the hardware was there. You may notice that the drawer pulls arent on yet, thats just because I want to see if I can find something close to the knobs on our cupboards, its not because they dont fit and they are very nice. Speaking of nice the woodwork is absolutely gorgeous and the natural finish lets it shine through... just beautiful.
We did go to the store to pick up some furniture slides and put those on in place of the wheels because this cart is not something thats going to be moved BUT it also puts it at a height where if we need to, we can swing it under one of our counters. I am SO glad we chose this island. 
The size is perfect, there were no scratches or dings...YAY! Very Happy)
