Features I love: - No wheels, so I'm not worried about wheels not locking/sliding around, and it looks more like a built-in island; though we did have to load it up a bit to weigh it down to prevent sliding, may opt to add some sticky pads underneath but so far it's been fine - Fully enclosed drawers and cabinets, so it's easy to baby-proof and hide our mess - Drawers come on rails (many islands at this price point don't have rails on the drawers), though would be even nicer if they were soft close!Don't love: - Dark wood finish on top is a little disappointing as it looks a little splotchy so you can tell it isn't real wood grain (see picture). We might replace the top with something nicer down the road.I was prepared for a lengthy assembly, but it only took 1.5 hours with one other person helping. The directions are clear, and the pack of hardware made it really easy to follow. I think you could assemble this on your own, but there are a few steps where it's helpful to have another person to hold things steady.It does have a bit of a "new car" smell right out of the box, so if that bothers you, you may want to let the pieces breathe outside or in a garage before bringing it inside. The smell wore off quickly in our own home, though was noticeable when opening the cabinet doors for the first few weeks.
