I am mostly satisfied with this product. It arrived quickly and was pretty easy for my husband and I to put together. I am thrilled with the construction of the top of the island. It is butcher-block hardwood and I love it. Some of the other features, I am not as thrilled about. This includes the drawer. Because the hardware for the drop-leaf portion runs along the underside of the top, it really affects the things which can be put in the drawer. I was hoping to house some of the utensils I use when I bake: whisks, rolling pin, etc., or cookie sheets; however there is just not the space for these items. I have some of the flour-sack towels and my aprons in there instead, but i have to make sure to position them just right to make sure they don't hit the hardware. The bottom of the drawer is not hardwood and just slides in, so it is not really sturdy construction. The upright "walls" on the inside just slide between little pegs you push into the inside walls of the unit, then there are pegs that slide through holes in the inside walls to support the shelves, so the shelves in the little side cupboards and the middle all have to be at the same height. The storage capacity is "decent". In one side cabinet, I have my loaf pans on the top shelf, and my small cake and pie pans on their sides on the bottom. The other side cabinet has my hand mixer on the top and my cake decorating kits on the bottom. The middle cabinet has my stoneware bread pans on the top shelf and my 9x13 cake pans and cooling racks on the bottom shelf. I am really pleased with having the extra workspace this offers, just a bit disappointed with some of the craftsmanship and the storage. Oh, and the fact that, even when locked, the wheels slide across my smooth floor when i am kneading my bread. I am probably a bit more picky because my dad builds quality furniture, with hand-cut dovetail corners and the works. I believe that, for the money, this is a very nice piece of furniture, and, despite some of the negatives I have pointed out, I would recommend this to a friend if they were looking for something like this on the same budget as I am.
