I would have given this island 5 stars , even with the little scratches, after all it came from China, eventually to my house in non broken pieces. And there probably wouldn’t have been any scratches if the green paint wasn’t so thin . The design is very nice, the engineering is impressive, all the holes lined up perfectly , unit fit together well, Instructions were pretty clear. The major thing was the back of the island , it is 4 very thin panels that were held together by sliding the panels up into a little black strip. Some one sitting on that side eventually would swing a foot into to it , don’t know about holding together, we’ll see . It is nice , nice color good instructions well engineered, every hole matched perfectly, which in today’s world, is pretty good. I’m not sorry I purchased it .

Instructions were easy to follow. The surface isn’t great quality, and the back isn’t wood but is that cardboard style backing. However, it will work well for our purposes in our new home.

Couldn’t be happier with this item, exactly what we needed in a small kitchen to provide extra meal prep space and storage. Love that the trash is also hidden inside!
