I had shopped and shopped for the perfect island and luckily ordered it from Wayfair.  The price was excellent.  It came in 3 large(and heavy) boxes. It tells you you need two people to put it together and you really do.  It was easy to read the instructions and took around an hour for my daughter and I to put together.  The color is identical to the picture.  It is a beautiful piece and works perfectly in my new kitchen.
