As with most furniture, once I have it delivered and unbox it, I immediately contemplate returning it rather than the nightmare of putting it together. This was no exception. It comes in a VERY heavy box and styrofoam does get a bit 'snowy' while getting everything out of it. Once everything was laid out, I followed the directions and got it assembled in a couple of hours. The instructions and labelled pieces really make this process move along. I was able to assemble it myself and with just a little bit of heavy lifting involved (looking at you countertop).
Once assembled it looks as expected. Very sturdy and 'thick', looking like furniture much more expensive than it was. My only gripe is that the drawers are just a bit too shallow for a silverware plastic holder Other than that, perfection.
Pro Tip: When assembling the drawers (the most time consuming part), be sure to line up your screws with the predrilled holes on the sides. If you don't, your drawers will be crooked. They should screw in easy if you are on the mark, otherwise, try again. Overall pretty straight forward and easy process.
Very sturdy, very nice, very nicely priced island
