really wanted this island. unfortunately it didn't work out. it was falling apart and we weren't even half way assembling it. we decided to stop and return it for a refund. and were left very disappointed too. because it looked like it would have come out nice. I will say that we were not happy with the backing of it though. it was that thin carboard stuff you put on a bookcase. didn't seem sturdy enough. very disappointed. the return process was very easy, and the young lady that helped us was very nice and understanding.
