(More customer reviews)We put together our new island last night. Easy assembly, maybe took about 30 minutes start to finish. I should add that my husband assembled it himself, I just watched :)
I am impressed with the quality of the piece, very sturdy. The rubber feet keep the piece from sliding all around the kitchen, which is nice. The paint finish is matte, and the wood finish is nicely done.
The work surface is not solid butcher block, it's about an inch thick. I think that's what kept the price from being outrageous. The top of the butcher block is a bunch of small strips, kind of looks like a mosaic. It is a really nice touch!
One of the side panels was a little damaged, the black paint was cracking in a few spots. I called Powell customer service, and spoke to someone within 5 minutes, who offered to send us a replacement free of charge. Refreshingly uncomplicated customer service!
Assembled, the piece is the perfect height (almost exactly as high as our countertops), and size (the lower shelf holds my Kitchenaid mixer and a basket full of cookbooks.) The basket drawers are deeper and roomier than I expected. One holds my dishtowels and cloths, the other holds all my mixer attachments. The only thing I'm not crazy about are the hooks for the hanging utensils, as I keep all mine in a canister on the counter. For now, they're hanging there for looks, but I will soon be removing them - I do have pot holders hanging on one of the hooks which is more convenient. I like my utensils to be right beside the stove.
This is a sturdy island, which added some much needed counter space to our kitchen, as well as makes it look "complete." I am very happy with our purchase!
