Like everything, there are pros and cons:
Pros: The cabinet went together fairly easily. What I REALLY like is that for each screw/bolt bag there was one extra screw or bolt than was needed. We have all dropped or lost a screw in assembly and had to go buy another. This was an excellent example of super customer service. The cabinet seems sturdy and well designed.
Cons: Because the doors are pre/hung, if they are out of kilter you are in a bind. Now let me start off by saying most people would not notice a problem with the doors, but my wife likes everything just so. The left door was 1/8 inch too high and the right door was off on the bottom hinge so they did not align perfectly. It would have been a LOT better had the door hinges been the type that have a slot you can adjust up and down and then tighten. You just cant resink a hinge screw 1/16 inch below the other hole they rip the hole and make a mess.
The instructions: they dont mention it but it would be a good idea to have a very light/weight finishing hammer to close the wood clips. Trying to close them with your fingers can get painful. Also installing the shelves in step 13 of the instructions should be moved to the end of step 14 because you have to remove the top shelf to access the two screws for the top.
These are very minor problems and as I said, most people probably would not notice if the doors are slightly misaligned.
Wish List: One thing I would really like to finish off this cabinet is an optional stainless steel top or a stainless overlay for the top. Im pretty rough on my kitchen countertops.
Ive put a lot of furniture together, and these instructions were clear, easy to follow and a lot was pre/done. Instead of cams and cam screws, there are levers that flip. It took a couple of hours, but no frustration and everything went together nicely.
It is not a ton of storage because its a fairly small piece, but it is adequate for the size.
It is a nice piece but ours ended up with the doors being miss aligned. The doors are pre/assembled and one of the last pieces to be installed so at that point it was already done being assembled. Otherwise this would be 5 stars. The way we have it in our kitchen no one will ever really know so we are just living with it.
This is an aming island! So easy to assemble / hinges and hardware were already in place and the cam and pin locking mechanisms that attach the pieces were so easy to use! Went together great. Only one problem occurred: on one of the doors the predrilled holes in the wall where the door hinge would attach were not drilled in the right place so one door hung crooked. A quick redrill in the right place and the door was fixed. Voila! Beautiful cabinet, lots of storage space. Very pleased.
Its a very nice, sturdy, kitchen cart. The only thing is for my needs it doesnt have enough storage. But thats because I dont have kitchen cabinets. But if you just need an extra snack storage or really anything its a good buy.
My daughter loves to bake, but our kitchen is too small to have two people cooking different items at the same time. We bought this so she could store all of her baking items and prepare her baked goods. It is very sturdy and doesnt take up a lot of space. The extension that raises in the back is perfect!

Just ok damaged
Arrived with dings and scratches
Straight forward assembly, somewhat small

This was a house warming gift and they both love it, perfect size for their kitchen.
Loved the storage and sturdiness
Over all it is nice

All the hard parts were already put together / great island

Great addition to your kitchen.

A great extra area for counter space
