Elegant! Sturdy! Perfect addition!
ABSOLUTELY beautiful kitchen cart! I formerly had a bakers rack that always looked cluttered and messy. This has been a PERFECT replacement! Very very pleased. Assembly does take some time, so be patient. It also helps to have 2 people to do the assembly as well as the correct tools (both obvious components to assembling products with multiple pieces). Overall I HIGHLY recommend this product. Be sure to read ALL the instructions. I noticed one review mentioned that the cabinet doors were crooked. In the directions it tells you how to adjust the doors for proper alignment. Storage is fantastic. Very sturdy. And extremely pleasing to the eye.

Love my rolling island!!
I love this cart! I was looking for extra storage space for my kitchen that could double as a breakfast nook of sorts and this fits the bill. It was easy to put together although the directions were all pictures/diagrams... NO words of explanation. If you have trouble following diagrams without any words of explanation this might be a bit problematic. I am one who thoroughly reads all the directions and follows them explicitly. So, I was a bit skeptical at the outset. But to this manufacturers credit, there were no missing or damaged pieces and the diagrams were pretty easy to follow. All the hardware, screws, hinges, etc were in small plastic bags well labeled to match the diagrams. I can't believe how easily it all went together. It did take two 2 1/2 hours for us to assemble it. You will definitely need an extra pair of hands to hold the three large sections in place while adding the support bars and for placing the butcher block top with drop-down leaf (which are hinged together before putting in place). The top and drop leaf are pretty heavy to pick up and place correctly without help. Also using a power drill rather than a screw driver made the whole process go much more quickly. We decided to leave off the spice rack at the end and also changed the silver hardware to black to match all our knobs and drawer pulls in our newly renovated kitchen. We had four black knobs leftover from the renovation, so that worked out perfectly. I purchased two black cup drawer pulls from Lowe's to finish the look. I plan to use the drop down leaf as our eating spot with bar stools for seating. After using it for a while, we may decide to add one of the leftover sides of the spice rack as extra support for the drop leaf. I think it will be easy enough to add a hinge and add it to the middle under the leaf. I am using this to store some of my appliances so my counter-tops will not be so full. See pictures I have included. Overall, I am very pleased with this rolling island and look forward to using it for years to come.

Beautiful Island, complex assembly but straight forward directions.
The island is beautiful. It's a two person assembly job that shouldn't take more than 3 hours. My partner and I spread it across two days, as it does require complete focus. There are a lot of parts, but the instructions are pretty straight forward once you spread all the pieces out (for example: numbers refer to the body/infrastructure pieces and letters refer to screws, bolts and hinges that hold the pieces together). We didn't encounter any broken or missing pieces. On arrival the packaging was pretty great. It prevented damage during transportation. We have a small space so we feel like it was worth the money to expand our kitchen space.

Great island! Very happy
I'm really happy with this purchase. Took me putting it together myself about 100 minutes or so. Feels pretty sturdy as well.

Would buy it again
This almost made it to 5 stars. First the good: 1.It was easy to put together, The picture instructions were easy to follow and help ensure that there was little confusion about where everything went. The items we all properly labeled and easily identifiable. 2.All the predrilled holes lined up with all the holes in the wood and the supplied hardware. 3.Included an extra of each kind of screw in case one was misplaced. Al included the Allen wrench that we used only to finish tightening the screws that needed an Allen wrench. Mostly we used a drill to put the screws most of the way in first. 4.It arrived two days earlier than the earliest delivery estimate. 5.The wheels seem to be good quality, which was a concern of mine when I bought it. It rolls smoothly and easily on our wood plank flooring. 6.The leaf if sturdy and seems as if it would support quite a bit more weight than we will ever apply to it. Now to the not so good: 1.the top board, front edge has some roughness to it. 2.The drawer pull outs (handles) came with the appearance of brushed stainless steel but the knobs look like they are chrome (so they don't match).

Take your time, use a cordless impact driver for many of the screws.
Took 5 hours to build. Nice addition to the kitchen.

Macys 3rd party sellers
Worse place ever to purchase furniture. Any Customer Service person that I spoke with was very lack of knowledge and very poor language skills. Everyone will tell you something different. Why and how I’m supposed to be bringing 2 boxes that are over 100 lbs to a UPS store. One told me that I will need to contact their 3rd party selle. I purchased this item through Macys. Trying to speak with a supervisor is almost impossible. I’m stuck with two heavy boxes and my account is still charged and will not be credited until their 3rd party seller contacts me. I took over one hour to get a supervisor on the line until someone named Camilo claiming to be a supervisor spoke with me and told me a total different story Consumers avoid purchasing from Macys that are sold through a 3rd party company. Especially furniture which are shipped through FedEx Ground heavy boxes are not handled with care and are just literally dumped outside the front door and don’t allow any one to check and sign for
