I really wanted to love this product. Unfortunately, the quality of the product is terrible. There was marks, dents and paint peeling off. The door and the shelves were not sturdy!
Had been eye balling this for quite awhile, decided to order it. When item arrived it was damaged in a couple spots, one of which was most visible (on the leaf). Tried to get ahold of their companies customer support for a replacement part off their website. Never got a reply. After having a party I realized just how weak it was because there were scratches and dings all over. Since I had already bought it and couldnt get a reply and didnt want to deal with returns I decided to strip the finish and stain and fill the damage and redo the stain and finish myself (pictured second). Other than that its very sturdy, the table top comes in one piece and is extremely heavy. After fixing it myself I am glad with it but a lot of hoops to jump through.
Beautiful and very elegant. The ma wood is nice and it has a nice finished. It arrived super fast and nothing was scratched or broken. We are loving it!!
I love this kitchen island, the style, color and functionality. The fact that you can entertain around it and also use it for storage was a big plus for me. Its very sturdy and was easy to set up, so you definitely need 2 people because its heavy. The parts were clearly marked and there were enough screws to use. The height is perfect and I also loved that you could adjust the height a tad bit. It took us just under an hour to put together. The boxes were well packaged, I just wished it came with a pair of matching stools but other than that it was great investment to my kitchen!
i thought I would want to cancel it due to I changed my mind in last minutes. But turned out, the kitchen island is looking nice, great design and easy to set up. would be nice if they offer the table top cover free.
I have been on the fence about getting this island for over a year. I was hesitant to switch from a kitchen table to an island, but with just two of us and a lack of storage in my small kitchen, I was ready for a change. I am SOOO glad I ordered this. I had this (or similar brands) in my card for over a year. I finally thought Id order it and was pleased to find that the price had gone down!
I purchased the oak and it is a little darker than pictured, but does go nicely with my oak kitchen cabinets. It is very sturdy and well made and looks much more expensive than it was. It does add quite a bit of storage, but I was slightly disappointed that my 8 quart instantpot wont fit in it / too wide for the cabinets. But, Ive managed to find all sorts of other items that fit.
Myhusband had it put together in a couple of hours, I just had to help him with holding it while he put some of the larger pieces on. All pieces were VERY clearly labeled and the directions seemed very clear to us. Were not newbies to putting things together, but I dont think anyone would have a hard time. I really liked that they even listed how many screw, bolts, camlocks, etc. so you didnt panic if you had one left over.
The counter that folds out seems to be quite sturdy and I believe it will last quite a while. At some point if it gets damaged from use, Id probably change out the wood top for a countertop material.
I pondered, debated on which color to choose for months. Finally decided on the oak because from the photos and previous months, pictures appeared to match oak cabinets and oak floors. Also, White was initially unavailable and then when available, it was much more expensive. So, decided on the oak. It arrived faster than expected. Husband said this was one of the easiest items to assemble and he assembled it alone. Everything looks nice, doors and drawers glide and move easily, closes nicely. It actually appears to be a lovely piece of furniture. The only drawback for me is the stain, the color looks more of a maple or dark brown oak and does not match cabinetry as visualized. The color gives the item a more formal look, but will grow on me. This is for a temporary, small residence. Although it does not match as I had planned for this home, I am sure it will be perfect for the next long term home. It would also fit nicely in other areas than kitchen. It could be used as a desk. After pandemic, I plan to have a top of glass or marble cut to protect the top.
All in all,
It was easy to assemble.
It provides much needed storage and
It is a beautiful piece of furniture.

Terrible quality

Top stain and finish weak

Beautiful
I was so afraid it was going to be smaller and cheap, but it was thankfully very beautiful and the perfect size!
Awesome product!
Only thing I wasnt to happy about is I had a dent in the top of the counter. Minor. But it is quality!
Beautiful and practical kitchen island

Dual function!

Love It !!
Love this item, the pictures do not do it justice, it is beautiful and the perfect size.
The finish is more of a dark brown oak
