Pretty solid little island for the price. As expected, all pieces but the top are not real wood, but they were fairly sturdy, except for the back which is just thin sheeting, but that will be up against a wall anyway for most people. It was easy to put together, but took some time. Having a driver handy will speed the process immensely. Looks very attractive from any distance, but up closes the white finish looks fairly cheap and seems like it will dent easily. You could put another coat of paint on it of course, but I haven't tried that yet.
