This arrived within 4 days of ordering. We had picked a different model for 550, but it jumped to 700+ as I WATCHED. This looked like a good alternative, and much less than anything comparable. They call it engineered wood or whatever, but its very firm and sturdy when assembled. The top was the biggest surprise. Its an inch thick, but looks like miniature butcher/block. And with the leaf raised, youve got room to roll out dough, or even seat a couple with a pair of stools. Were very pleased with it, were using it more like a peninsula than an island, and we added 4 feet of counter top to our original 5. Plenty of storage space, and seems sturdy. I will amend this review if future events indicate.
This is not cheap pressboard!
