It's not often that I'm disappointed in a purchase enough to give it a negative review, but overall this item did not match the description or expectations we had of the piece. When purchasing items from a furniture store, we did not expect to have the assembly requirements that were required to get this island together. Drill holes not fully drilled, instructions that did not visually assist with some of the more difficult steps and the overall quality of the piece (countertop especially) was disappointing. Looks very nice and serves the overall purpose we had in mind, but not a good overall experience.
