This is a great little island for a small kitchen. I bought it because my kitchen has limited cabinet space and we needed something to complete our workspace triangle.The piece shipped really fast and in your typical knockdown furniture style. Thy hubby managed to put it together relatively quickly and without any issues. My only complaint is that the drawers don't "glide" as nicely as they could. and the pegs to hold the shelves into place don't stay put very well but I think that's minor in comparisons to other issues that would be had. 

Pros: Easy assemby, great value, ships fast
