After quite a bit of searching online, I stumbled upon this well constructed island, at a great price, with a nice Parisian feel to it!I liked how you could access from all sides and the reviews were so good. I particularly liked the look of the upper storage cubby/areas.The wood top as many people have stated does have a bit of a caramel tone to it-This looks great with my black cabinets and freshly refinished floors. Our floors are natural so the contrast is wonderful, if your wood floors have turned kind of orange overtime it may not work-otherwise, I highly recommend.I made one call to customer service during assembly -My call was answered immediately and they are so helpful!
