After I bought a new Micro wave oven that was way to big for my micro wave cart, and way to big for my tiny kitchen, I didn't know what iI was going to do, so I looked at this Island in the store and fell in love with it. It was so easy to set up all the hard ward was labeled it took about 1 1/2 hrs to built, it was packaged very well nothing was broke and nothing was missing, it even gives some extra hard ware. I will enjoy my new piece for many years. Thanks Target for another well product added to my home. see less

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the hardware packed with all the parts separated in pockets per step by step instructions. It even has a separate pocket on the cardboard with extra parts. Kuddos to the person who thought that up. Someone finally used common sense. It was easy to put together with two people. The style is great and the extra drawers and cupboard are extremely handy. We love that the table extends in back. The only thing I would like to see replaced are the extender braces under the swing up extension. It is nice that they are keeping with the wood theme, but metal would hold up better. I will never use the top itself for food prep, but will rub it with food grade mineral oil to keep it from staining. The great part is, that since the kitchen is small, we can roll it out when needed, and back against the wall when done. see less

This island is perfect for my open concept kitchen. I had been searching for a island that could give extra storage and seating and this island answered my prayers. The directions were very well thought out and straight forward. My bother n law put it together in 1.5 hours, all the parts were there with even extra parts. I was concerned that the height would be to short, but its perfect. Its actually a inch or two taller than my counter. I bought 24" bar stools to go underneath and its a perfect fit. The only two minor drawbacks are that the top is pure unfinished wood and the towel bar cant be moved to the other side. But easy fixes. You can use mineral oil for the wood, and that will seal and protect it or you can do what I did, and get Minwax stain and stain and seal it. Either way both options are cheap and easy. Overall I rate this island a 10, ITS AWESOME, YOU SHOULD GET IT! see less

We ordered this online after seeing it in the store. We moved from a large kitchen to having a much smaller kitchen and this is the perfect supplement piece that we were searching for to hold more of our counter top items and have inside storage. I only wish the towel rack was able to be moved to either side but it's really not a big deal for us! The quality is great and the assembly time was about 1.5-2 hours for one person. see less

This Island fits the bill perfectly for extra kitchen storage, convenience and working surface. The flip up leaf is what tops this one over all others. Packaging was well thought out and unit came in without a scratch.'Biggest problem was getting rid of the foam!! see less

Although we purchased the furniture at a lower price than currently advertised, we are very pleased with the unit and believe it is a great value at the old price. It particularly fits well in a medium sized kitchen. It not only provides utility in the kitchen, it is a fine piece of furniture. It wasn't too difficult to assemble and tools aren't necessary other than a screwdriver. The top portion with sliding drawers is one piece that just fits on the base and middle cabinets that take about 2-3 hours to assemble. You will need two strong persons to lift and drop the finished top piece on. The wood is slightly darker than the photograph shows, but it will work well with lighter kitchen cabinet tones. The piece is heavy and will not move if one bumps it inadvertently. see less

First off I have to foreclose that the one we purchased was this model only in the color black, but I could not find it listed today. It is a beautiful island and we love it. My husband HATES putting things together, but we got this done is a couple of hours. Instructions very easy to follow and everything went together very nice. It is a very high quality island, just what I have wanted. Highly recommend! see less

Top finish will not stand up to much use but I added a coat of polyurathane to mine. Not everyone likes the look of poly, you may want to try something else. There was a review, that seems to have been deleted, that warned of this so I was prepared. Storage space is much smaller than the outside dimentions would suggest. It is divided with a support so you basically have two 19 inch deep, by 12 inch wide by 25 inch high storage spaces behind doors. The color is very close to online picture but I don't think most would find this matches anything else called oak. More of a brownish cherry or reddish walnut. I like the design of the top. It is easy to assemble. The packaging has an inch of cushion and while my boxes were pretty beat up on arrival no damage to product. It comes in three heavy boxes so be ready with help and space when it arrives. Overall I am pleased with this product given I knew most of the above complaints before I purchased. see less

I did a ton of research and read a lot of reviews before making this purchase. I read a lot of mixed reviews on this island and was concerned about the "worm holes" on the top surface. I am SO glad I took a chance on this island. It is just stunning. There are minor embellishments to the top surface, but they are extremely small, there are very few of them, and they do not detract from the beauty of it at all. Every person that comes over comments on how gorgeous the island is.It also provides a great amount of storage. We took down 2 full hanging cabinets, and everything from those cabinets fit in here perfectly with room to spare. And the shelving on the sides was a nice touch and a great place to display some of my collectibles.[...]The one thing that I saw in a few negative reviews that was accurate were the cam locks (during assembly). They were very difficult to work with and required me to do a step differently than the directions indicated, but thankfully that only accounted for a small portion of the assembly. I am a small woman (5'2") and was able to put this together with my 13-year-old son with no additional problems. I just can't say enough good things about this island. If you are on the fence about purchasing it, do not hesitate another minute. You will not regret it. see less

This product is great!! For the price, you cant beat the quality!! It matches everything in my house with reguard to the decorative accents. Very Traditional look!It is the heart of my kitchen now!! It was easy to put together too. I would definitly recommend this product!! see less

This piece was the perfect solution for my space. I attempted to put it together by myself which was slow going. Once I had help, we got it together very easily in under an hour. They provided spare hardware, which is always appreciated. The one down fall was that a pre drilled hole on the door for the knob, was drilled on the same side as the hinges. A little imperfection, but other than that, I love the piece and would recommend it to others. see less

I had read reviews on other websites about how hard this was to put together. But considering my husband makes furniture and can put anything together, I figured we could handle it. We could, but it took us 4 hours start to finish. This was partly because our shipment included 2 LEFT DOORS instead of 1 left and 1 right. We had to re-drill the cam nut openings on the other door, along with the screws on the other end, and even re-drill the hinges to reverse the door. Of course, we could have called the company who made it, requested a right door, and waited 30 days for it... but we wanted it done. Now that it's together, it looks great and I think we will love it - unless the right door falls off soon because we had to modify it so much. I would only recommend this to someone who is extremely confident about putting together furniture, can make and modify furniture, and who has all day and lots of help in which to tackle it. Good luck! see less

Love this piece. the quality is good. The assemble took a guy a couple hours. The front of one drawer was not on the drawer correctly, not centered, we are going to repair it ourselves. Target did not answer my email concerning it. Customer service by telephone is difficult. This comes in 3 boxes, and they did not all come the same day, so i was concerend. but arrived in a few days. The side shelves are small, and can fall off easily, but for display, they are ok. see less

I received this kitchen island about a week ago and it is seriously a gorgeous piece of furniture. Looks far more expensive than what I paid for it at Target. Very heavy solid unit that seems like it will stand the test of time. The installation was not difficult and took about an hour an half. The drawer that opens from either side is a neat feature and I'm using it to keep all my jars of spices in it. It organized them all perfectly. This would also be great for a utensil drawer. The cabinet underneath is of medium size and fits a standard pot and pan set on one of the shelves. I use the other shelf for corning ware. Larger frying pans and woks will not fit in this though. The exterior side shelves are great to hold decorative items. In a nutshell I'm super happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone needing a very nice looking and sturdy kitchen work space. see less

Looks great. Lots of compliments on it. Top section comes already assembled so not too hard to put together with hubby's help. Only problem is that doors on one side don't line up right. Trying to resolve with manufacturer. On phone they said to send pictures and they have not responded to two emails so far. Will call again. But, it really does look like something that cost more than twice the price so we're quite happy with it. The knobs aren't great - we used better ones we had. A lot of islands are 48" which is too big for our kitchen so the 42" length was nice to find. Thanks Target! see less

I received the island a few days ago. I put the entire thing together all by myself. It took around 2 hrs. give or take a few minutes. My husband only helped when I needed to lift some the top and flip the island over after it was assembled. Assembly was fairly easy. I love the island it is very sturdy and looks great! I would highly recommend this island. This island looks rich and expensive. A good addition to our kitchen, I just love it!! see less

I read bad reviews for this island at other sites, citing design flaws. turns out they were were true. the pre-drilled holes do not line up and one piece was just too big. I had to use a sander to sand down one piece to fit into place. one the drawer rollers was missing and one of the doors had no hinges! the large doors have no handles and they fit too snug because the pieces don't line up right. so once I closed the door, I could not open it. even the screws were so cheap that I stripped may of them in the process. The counters are wood, but the rest is particle board. I've put together a lot of furniture and I feel like I know what i'm doing, but this one was a nightmare. I took it apart, boxed it up, and returned it. see less

We've had this island for 3 months now and we absolutely "love" it. Added the perfect area for "in kitchen" eating and is a wonderful gathering place to have a cup a coffee or tea and talk. Adds great extra cabinet space, as well. I was disappointed that I could not find the matching seats, even though the island was pictured with two bar seats. I found seats elsewhere that work very well. We are very satisfied with this purchase. see less

The item pictured shows two stools with it. There is another picture on the website without stools. No stools came with the island, so don't make the same mistake that I did thinking that they come with the island. The island itself, is great!!! I love, love, love it!!! It is perfect in my kitchen!!! Lots of assembly required, but it is sturdy. Definitely worth the purchase. see less

We just moved and were looking for a small coffee bar for the kitchen. It was exactly what we wanted from the online description and the actual product turned out to be as described. It fits great not being to big but can handle the coffee maker and juicer. With the shelves, drawer, and cabinet we gained a lot of organization space. Like any piece of furnature of this type the assembly was tough but not too bad, I hate the little cam bolts! But after putting a dozen or so of these pieces together over the years it wasn't too difficult. On a minor note, the door does not close tightly and kind of just hangs ajar, but I got a little double sided vercro and that did the trick. Definately worth the price (and the almost as expensive shipping). see less

I purchased the White Kitchen Island, and I love it! Ive only had it for like 2 months so I cant really talk about durability, but it is a great space-saver. I needed additional counter space for a very small kitchen and this fit in perfectly. Assembly was simple but it did take me 2 days; I did like 2-3hrs a day, but I did do it alllll by myself! :) The parts seem to be durable and sturdy. I love it and would definitely recommend it! see less

This was exactly what I needed. A good amount of additional counter space, solid construction, and easy to assemble. I'm very happy. Good value for money. see less
