I really like itI like everything except the wheels. They don’t roll as smooth. They Mark my floor. Other than that, it’s perfect for me in my situation. It adds nicely to what I have.

A clear winner!This is the perfect addition to my renovated kitchen. Compliments everything very well. Was super easy to assemble, everything lined up well, and no hiccups, as I had with previous DIY assembly. Was a great value compared to many other options. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and would even purchase again myself!

Nice cabinet for my kitchen.I chose this cabinet as a microwave stand with the stainless steel top since my microwave is stainless steel as well. It goes perfect with the color of my kitchen cabinets too, soooo pleased 🙂

A beautiful addition to the kitchenI purchased this to be able to keep my toaster oven readily available without losing counter space. When the pkgs arrived (granite top shipped separately) on a Friday I began assembly. All went well until it was time to mount the bun feet. They were missing. On Saturday morning I emailed the Manufacturer (per instructions in assembly manual) and was very pleasantly surprised when the bun feet were delivered from KY the very next day, Sunday, by FedEx. What wonderful service. My item is now complete and looks wonderful, a wonderful addition to my kitchen.

Sound Purchase – Nice PieceDELIVERYThe item was delivered as expected and within the delivery time frame, so there was no issue with regard to delivery.Everything arrived in their designated packages and was correctly labeled, FOR THE MOST PART, except for one piece which did not have a label BUT I was able to figure out where it went.If you have an extra pair of hands for help, that will definitely aid you in getting this item put together.ASSEMBLYOne person can put this piece together solo, however, two pairs of hands will be better than one in this regard.Everything is properly labeled and packaged. There are a fair amount of pieces, screws, bolts, etc., so be as organized as possible and be patient.LOOKThe piece looks great – a lot better than I ever imagined it would – if you are into the classic cherry wood look and feel, then this is definitely right up your alley. You will have the option of using actual wheels, which gives this item a “catering” feel to it, or wide wooden “ball” supports, which in my estimation look good and will not mark up your hard wood floor, if you have one.FEELThe item has some real deal weight and feel to it – it does not look cheap, nor does it feel cheap. All the metal parts, such as the towel holders, have a charcoal type color to the steel which I believe looks great.This item complements my wood shelving which I mounted in my kitchen for aesthetic and added storage space.PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS PIECE DAMAGES AND GETS MARKED UP EASILY – As an example, my mother-in-law attempted to aid my wife with putting away some cookware; she accidentally dropped a couple of items onto the lower face of the furniture and damaged the base and right door (indentation and scuff marks) – be mindful and be careful.I highly recommend this piece.

NEEDS HIGHER FEET AND BODY REINFORCEMENT!!!First off, the description of the height is wrong. The height is 34 inches high, NOT the 36 inches that it claims to be. Regular counter height is 36 inches, so this island falls short 2 inches. I am disappointed because I asked a seller question before purchasing it, and was told that it is 36 inches, which means that no one actually measured, they just went off the description, even though I made it clear that I wanted someone to actually measure it to be sure, since I read in previous reviews mixed answers on the height. My husband bought higher feet for the island to make it the 36 inch counter height that I wanted. Second, it WOBBLES a TON!!! You can’t even use the drawer or wipe down the top without the whole thing moving significantly. In fact, you barely have to touch in order for it to feel like it is going to topple over. My husband spend a lot of time reinforcing it in order to make it sturdy. Thank goodness for a handy husband. I wanted this island because it matched my kitchen to a tee, and so that is the reason why I bought it. My husband had to pretty much add on to it and rebuild it in a sense in order to bring it up to par. If you don’t think you can reinforce it, or do not have the will or time, move along to another option. But, now that it is reinforced and brought up to height, I love it! I included a photo of the reinforcement that needed to be done (husband used an air gun and wood glue to install the braces). This photo was taken before we replaced the feet.

Well MadeIt took a while to put together but it was totally worth it. The quality and construction are very nice, and it serves it’s purpose as a portable dog feeding station very well.

Love it!I am very pleased with this purchase. I do not like to put things together,but this was a snap. My house is new and the builder offered an island,but I felt the kitchen was too small,after the house was complete I saw I needed more work space. When Fed Ex showed up with my purchase,I thought it was for my neighbor,as it was here in 2 days!! It came in 3 boxes. The hardest part of putting it together,was getting the granite slab out of its protective wood crate. Very well packaged,easy instructions. No particle board,all nice wood. It has made my kitchen work,so much easier.I am very frugal and 300.00 was a lot for me to spend,but It was worth every penny. It gave me an extra drawer and 2 shelf cabinet. I have stainless steal appliances,but opted for the black granite top,as I cook a lot. The black granite enhances the look of the appliances and the mahogany wood matches my cabinets perfectly. It came with the optional wheels,but I used the wood footings. I wish it was a little taller,as I’m 6’2,but it still works great. Very happy with this purchase!
