I received the item and it was easy to put together. Actually looks better than the photo's. I cook a lot so I really need this island.  The best part about it is that i can move it to a side location to open up my kitchen space when not needed. It looks like a much more expensive piece and it is very sturdy.  Only draw back is that the stainless steel scratches easy. I am not a perfectionist so it won't drive me crazy because it looks great anyway!
