This works perfectly in my kitchen to clear up and organize a shortage of cabinet space. It went together very easily but did take assistance attaching to the ceiling. The item itself has some weight. (I am a 57 yet old lady, so maybe not if you're stronger). My son and I had it installed in a couple of hours. Most of my research said ceiling joists would be either 16" or 25" on center, mine were 19 😖 We thought we would have to add chain but the hooks worked without any. My ceilings are 10' so it's a little high but I don't mind. I can walk under it without bumping my head when the island is rolled away (I am 5'4").
