Pieces arrived with chips in the paint, and not all of the chips could be hidden. The build wasn't difficult but by 3/4 of the way through it became apparent that some of the pieces did not fit well together on one side. It took a lot of effort to get them to work. Once everything was put together, we found that the island could wobble side to side. Definitely was not worth the money spent but also not worth the time to disassemble or pay to return. It looks fine, I really like the navy blue color, and it holds all my baking ingredients, but I'm upset with the price paid for the quality. At $450, it should be sturdier.
