I have been looking for two years for the right piece to match my custom cabinetry. This definitely was what I was looking for! I was considering the smaller island but opted for the larger one. It still seats two at the eating space, but it provides a little more elbow room. The wood is beautiful but a little dry! Be sure to oil it. Two doors had to be replaced, but the company quickly sent out two new doors. Their customer service guy made recommendations on oiling it so that it will fully match my alder and hickory cabinets with a satin finish. I was quite impressed! I'm thrilled with this purchase and would recommend it - and items from this company - to everyone!
