Great product that seem to be well built, took a bit of time to set up, the instructions are very basic with only pictures but if you follow it closely you should not have any problems. It took me a couple of hours to set up, could have been a bit quicker but I was working on it on a Sunday afternoon while the games were on so I was not working very fast.
Once setup was complete it is a real beautiful unit and a good size, it is also very sturdy. The top and the leaf are made from real high quality wood.
When setting up make sure to tighten the screws just tight enough, its better to use a regular screwdriver and not any type of power tools; that way you can guage how tight the screws are. You do not want to under tight or it may end up being wobbly, you also do not want to over tight and strip any screws which would also cause the same effect. Once you set it up right it is a very solid and beautiful unit.
Love the color and is very sturdy. Downside are the instructions for installing the leaflet hinges are confusing and we used the wrong screws and they went through the leaflets. We can fix it, bit it was annoying. The base took some massaging to get in, but it definitely made it seem sturdier.
This is a sturdy beautiful piece of furniture that gives me extra work space in my small kitchen. Especially useful right now since I have no countertops yet in our remodeled kitchen done in gray, black and white. Love it !!
Overall a good purchase. Assembly was rough since items werent marked! Some of the screws broke so had to figure how to make it work! Due to this its not a sturdy leaf when fully extended!
Moves well on floor! Colors fine. Drawers slide nice!
The drop leaf seems to not be very secure with so few tiny screws, but it provides extra room up top without needing so much space all the time. Depth for cabinets is better than most, though with the drop leaf, I recommend putting heavier things in the bottom to lower the center of gravity. I wouldnt eat at the drop leaf side, I worry if I put my elbows up it will tip. But its great as a prep table. Drawers are pretty loose, if they had proper sliders it would be fantastic. The knobs for the doors come with bolts that are too long, I had to super glue all four in place, otherwise they rattle and spin freely.
You get what you pay for. If you can spend a bit more, Im sure there are better options, and I would recommend seeking them out. But this is one of the better options at this price point with the amount of space it provides.
I like the island, the gray is smooth its just what I was looking for. It took about 2.5 hours for 2 people, mostly my husband while I sat with him and drank Rosè, but I kept allllllllllll the many pieces organized for easy fetching. The hinges or latches for the cabinet doors are the trickiest by far, he was cussing a bit. All in all, Im really happy with the piece! The wood block on top is heavy sturdy. Hardware is attractive, I do wish it came with plugs to cover some of the screw holes, but thats no biggie.

Good but instructions need improvement

Very good
Hard to keep track of all the parts when its only pictures to go by but just take your time move slow and it will happen
My beautiful island helper!

Side towel holder could have been left off.
