Probably a better product elsewhere for the money.
Ok, so... it's a nice island but lots of issues. 1. Huge gouge/scratch on the counter top. Its deep and ugly. It was coated with a protective film but the scratch is so deep it penetrated the film and can be felt with you hand on the metal. 2. The protective film is attached under the countertop and leaves a line of film around the edge that's nearly impossible to remove. 3. On the front leg, theres a deep gouge in the wood that was clearly just painted over. Definitely occured during production. 4. The instructions skip parts and steps. Can be figured out but be careful and be sure to use the dowels (not in the instructions at all). 5. The smell. I've never purchased a piece of furniture that had such a strong chemical smell. Not sure it'll ever dissipate.
Overall, I'd return the dang thing but its already assembled so... I guess it stays. Besides the gouges, it looks nice and seems sturdy.
