I really like this cart. I put it together in about 2.5 hours (it can probably be done faster, Im not the best at furniture assembly!) and it works great as an extra storage space and work space. The quality is not heirloom and there are no dovetail joints / however everything is solid wood. The backing is thin but it is still wood / none of that laminated cardboard stuff you get on some cheap assemble/yourself furniture. Overall, for the price it works great and is of more than acceptable quality. My only other comment is try to search the web for better prices/sales/coupons elsewhere / I ended up paying far less than the price I see here.
It looks great in my kitchen, I like the look of it, the leaf isnt really sturdy for people leaning on it but if you have a handyman it can be remidied
We love this island. We just bought a house and the kitchen is to small for a table and we dont have a dinning room. We were looking for something that we could prep and eat on but we could push out of the way if we needed too. This item is wonderful for that. We keep two stools in the pantry and pull them out, and pop up the counter top when we need to eat. Its wonderful!
I would have given it 3.5 stars if it were an option. First off, the drawer runners were broken for both drawers, which seems like an ongoing issue according to some other reviews I read. I glued them, but fully expect to have to replace them in the not too/distant future. Secondly, the cabinets are uneven. You can see on the photos that the right one has a pretty big gap and doesnt sit evenly. The left is not quite as bad, but still is not even. Youd think for 429, they could have at least had some quality control in place for issues like these! I quickly threw the spice rack into the garbage and went shopping on Etsy for a lovely spice rack that fit perfectly on the side of the unit. The included spice rack was a ridiculous thing that stuck out from the unit by what seemed like a foot. It was probably more like 8, but the first time I knocked my hip against it, in the garbage it went. It didnt even hold that much! Admittedly, the extra storage space in this unit is a plus, and overall, I like how it changed the space. I had a dinette that I never used, and had stuff stored underneath which looked quite cluttered. This island was quite the improvement on that. However. If I had the option to do it all over again, I would have purchased a much higher quality island. It is 80 particle board.

Solid wood, no cardboard or plastic, good quality.

Eh, not horrible, but certainly not perfect
