Honestly for the price, this is pretty darn good. It was a bit hard to assemble than an ikea piece of furniture.
Follow the instructions you’ll figure it out.
Only thing I will say is, don’t let water sit on the top of the surface or it will bubble really easily.
For $86 or so this is amazing for the purpose it served – yes it’s not the highest quality but what did you expect for a kitchen island under $100?

I never leave reviews, and if I do, it’s typically only if something was awesome. For this, though, I had to take a second to write what may be my first ever negative review. I just want to maybe save someone else’s time and money. Unfortunately, other than maybe liking the colors of the black and tan, I have no positives. Here’s why this gets one star.
1. The instructions were so poorly written. If they were written better this might’ve been easier to assemble, but it’s not written very clear, so you don’t know half the time what it’s trying to tell you to do. Some of the instructions were even incorrect. This meant having to dissemble things we already put together to resemble… and with it being made of particle board, not solid wood, that was a nightmare.
2. It is NOT solid wood. It is all thin, flimsy particle board. It’s difficult to tell from this item description before purchase that it’s not solid wood pieces. While drilling or assembling parts, the planks of laminated particle board scratched very easily, and one piece even split completely down the middle as we were putting a screw in, just as the instructions told us to do.
3. It’s not sturdy and the entire piece of furniture ended up slightly crooked/lopsided despite following directions to a T and being extremely careful to line things up. We finally got it all together and I was so sad to see it leaned slightly too the right and it made the doors of the cabinet not shut smoothly.
4. Because it’s laminated particle board and not solid wood, it damages INCREDIBLY easy. It scratched like hell when we were assembling it, and we were being careful. Now, it’s served as our coffee cart despite the issues above, but if even a single drop of water gets on the top, the laminate comes up as a bubble, permanently. The top also scratched a whole chunk off just by slightly scooting the very lightweight coffee maker over. The top of this looks like crap and we’ve barely used it.
I’ve only had this for maybe a month or so now. Overall, I’m just sad we couldn’t have a cute little coffee cart and extra storage on a budget, without it looking like trash pretty much immediately. I really wish I’d just spent a little more and gotten something made of real wood and better quality, because at this rate it’s probably going to the dump at some point but I’m going to get whatever use I can out of it because it was so much work getting it together lol. And yeah, I probably could’ve just tried to return it, but I’d already spent so many hours to get it together that even though it wasn’t looking good, I was not going to dissemble it and try to repackage it all to send back. Just wasn’t worth the hassle.

不親切な解説書に、150個弱の金具(釘)。穴を自分で開ける箇所も。イケアなど、家具の組み立ては苦にならない、むしろ好きな方ですが、これには疲れました。今回は完成品を買えば良かった、と本気で思いました。

Once built the island looks nice and spacious on the inside. But its a pain to build. Even the instructions state to nail in the back board before putting in the doors, do the opposite. Otherwise its so hard to align everything.

I purchased this cabinet because it seemed to be in a very similar style to the rest of my fitted kitchen. I read the reviews before I made the purchase and it seemed the instructions were giving the most problems. However, I bought it and it arrived. The packaging was pretty bashed but nothing was actually damaged. It was clear that it was of very poor quality, even by chipboard furniture standards. I glued, pinned and clamped everything as I went along, and I replaced the worktop with a solid wood one that fitted with my kitchen better. Very little contact with the grey surface caused it to rub off. Even using a spirit level and set square, the doors will not hang straight. I don’t think this piece of furniture will last very long.

Material Pésimo y de baja calidad. Un verdadero fiasco.

This is really like 3 3/4 stars. Everything was predrilled well. So I was able to line things up very well. It looks very nice, and was the dimensions I needed for the storage I needed (made it into a coffee station for all my makers, mugs, coffees, teas, etc…). I did not assemble the towel bar or spice rack (took up too much space for where I needed it), but worked out great. A couple of the instructions could have been a little clearer (but I was still able to figure it out), and 2 pieces lost there label (otherwise everything else was well marked with stickers). I did not have any missing pieces. The cart top and inner shelf seem very sturdy. Once wheels are attached, the cart is countertop height (otherwise will be a little lower). The only thing that is not as sturdy is the drawer bottom (You have to build the drawer, fyi). The drawer bottom is a thick cardboard, so keep what you store in the drawer light (don’t overstuff), and possibly use a liner (or buy something sturdier that would work for the bottom…. don’t use anything thicker than the cardboard as it has to fit in a slot in the side pieces). The packaging was messy (Styrofoam everywhere), so prepare to vacuum after. You don’t need power tools, but a powered screw driver would have been more handy (my hand was sore after, but using all hand tools was doable). Keep in mind this is made of pressed wood particles with laminent. My only real complaint, was that it arrived very scuffed (no dents or scratches, but the wood print in the laminent was rubbed off). Not happy about that, but fortunately most scuffs were on the inside where you can’t see. The one big scuff that was on the drawer front was the worst, but I hid it with crayon, and now you can’t tell. I didn’t want the hassle of returning and repackaging (packaging was somewhat flimsy to repackage), so I dealt with it. If it didn’t have the scuffs, I’d have given this a 4.5 star rating. This works great for the price, just wish the laminent was better. Also, handles are plastic (that’s fine with me, and they look ok…. But I know some people did not care for plastic, may want to buy your own handles to swap out). Towel bar and spice rack bar was metal, fyi.
P.S. I’m just a mom with small kids, I’m not a “handy” person, I did not swear and was able to build in front of my toddler (for safety depending on your kid, you might not want to….. LOTS of pieces!). It will take a couple hours to build, not the 70 minutes they suggest. An extra set of hands is also very helpful, but I was able to build it by myself (might also be why it took longer than recommended time, but I’d still allow for extra time. Don’t put it together if in a rush). Take your time when building to get the pieces where they need to go and line up. Hope that helps. I’ll add pictures if I can figure it out.

I almost did not buy due to all the negative reviews but I am glad I did. I found it easy to assemble and the directions were very clear. I did not run into any issues with things not lining up. All the pieces were in good condition. I ordered the black + beach and the black is not actually black. It’s more of a dark espresso which was a bit of a bummer but it still looks great. It isn’t the best quality product but you get what you pay for. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and it’s exactly what my kitchen needed!
