I bought this kitchen island for my sewing room. I love the closed storage it provides. We are placing a DIY ironing board table on top so I can eliminate the fold out, standing ironing board. The wood top is beautiful and will be protected. I am really excited to have a lovely piece of multi useful furniture in my sewing room. Solid five stars. My sewing table and the island are our first purchases from Wayfair. We are so pleased.
