Crosley Furniture Roots Rolling Cart & Kitchen Island - Microwave Stand with Storage Shelves & Drawers, Natural Finish - Perfect for Small Kitchens, Apartments & Mobile Serving Stations

My only complaint about this island is that the drawers were very difficult to remove from the unit during the assembly process. It required teamwork to maneuver them out, and they were VERY greasy. I had to wash my hands with two rounds of GoJo. Otherwise, assembly was a snap. If you like assembling furniture, you'll have fun with this unit (except maybe with removing the drawers, but it seems as though only a handful of reviewers had an issue removing the drawers). it doesn't take that much time to put together--at least, I didn't think so. Each part is labeled with a letter sticker that corresponds to the parts in the written instructions. All of the tiny parts come neatly packaged and compartmentalized. The wheels are sturdy and roll well--I'd looked for hours across several days for a kitchen island on wheels for which the reviewers reported wheels that weren't flimsy. There was a strong smell from the wheels when I opened the package, but that dissipated in less than a day. OH! I have one other minor complaint. There are larger stickers on the main part of the unit that were difficult to remove. I recommend employing some GooGone to get all the sticky bits off. We love that this kitchen island isn't imposing. We saw so many massive blocks of wood, and we didn't want some enormous mass in the middle of the kitchen. We hang our kitchen towels off one handle and the oven mitts (using s-hooks) off the other end. The shelving is strong, and we place our larger cookware there. The drawers are also convenient. We appreciate that the unit is made of solid wood and isn't MDF or particle board. It has a modern design and is beautiful in the kitchen. We also like the option of being able to easily move it around if necessary. The top shouldn't be used as a cutting surface--it's really more decorative than anything. But it's easy enough to place a proper cutting board on top of it should we need to chop anything.
