First of all, the superb packing of this product was more than impressive, the granite countertop was even crated within the box. The remainder of the piece was double boxed & all hardware was blisterpacked- unbelievable. The quality of the product is excellent for the price...the only fault we found is the back of the piece is very thin & for a kitchen island we would have thought it to be the same thickness & quality of wood all the way around.  Even so, I would highly recommend this kitchen island - it fit our needs perfectly!
