I love everything about this kitchen island! I shopped for weeks, both online and locally, before discovering this outstanding piece. It's solid wood, very sturdy, extremely well made, has drawers and doors that glide smoothly and close securely, and holds a vast array of kitchen necessities. We're in the process of finishing it following suggestions posted by other reviewers on Wayfair's website. We haven't decided yet whether to keep the overhang on the top or cut it the size of the base, but the beauty of this island is that we can adapt it to fit our needs. Highly recommended!
