I would have given it 3.5 stars if it were an option. First off, the drawer runners were broken for both drawers, which seems like an ongoing issue according to some other reviews I read. I glued them, but fully expect to have to replace them in the not too/distant future. Secondly, the cabinets are uneven. You can see on the photos that the right one has a pretty big gap and doesnt sit evenly. The left is not quite as bad, but still is not even. Youd think for 429, they could have at least had some quality control in place for issues like these! I quickly threw the spice rack into the garbage and went shopping on Etsy for a lovely spice rack that fit perfectly on the side of the unit. The included spice rack was a ridiculous thing that stuck out from the unit by what seemed like a foot. It was probably more like 8, but the first time I knocked my hip against it, in the garbage it went. It didnt even hold that much! Admittedly, the extra storage space in this unit is a plus, and overall, I like how it changed the space. I had a dinette that I never used, and had stuff stored underneath which looked quite cluttered. This island was quite the improvement on that. However. If I had the option to do it all over again, I would have purchased a much higher quality island. It is 80 particle board.
Eh, not horrible, but certainly not perfect
