After reading like 500 reviews of multiple kitchen carts/islands I am so glad we decided on this one. The package came slightly damaged, but none of the contents were impacted. The box is super heavy and you'll probably need 2 people to put it together just so you don't have to struggle holding pieces in the proper orientation. The directions are easy to follow and they include extra hardware. They don't recommend using any electronic tools but we used an electric screwdriver and it saved a ton of time! We were very careful not to over-screw. Some of the locks were a bit tough to secure but we used the back side of a tool to push them into lock position and that helped save our fingers. Overall, this was pretty easy to put together. We did not put on the side towel bar or rack so the unit would fit in the space. I will probably just get some plugs to fill those pre-drilled holes but you can't really see them, anyhow. The finished product looks amazing, is super sturdy and high quality. Just note that the white is not pure white. It is slightly creamy white. It matches our cabinets beautifully so I was happy about that. Definitely recommend this over cheaper units.
BUY THIS ISLAND!!!
