This turned out to be quite a nice piece of furniture.  It came with free 2 day shipping and the boxes (2) arrived on time and in good condition.  There are a lot of parts and can look overwhelming at first, but it goes together rather quickly (about 2 hours with 2 handy type people).  The island feels solid and there is ample storage space both on the counter top and inside the cabinets.  Overall, very satisfied with this purchase!
