I love it! This is a beautiful, high quality piece of furniture that has all the features I was looking for: cabinet, deep drawer, drop leaf, end shelves, granite top. Size had been a challenge for me as well but this was just right. Only 3 drawbacks that I can identify: (1) It was very challenging to assemble - tons of pieces. Had to hire a handyman for the job but he got it done in about 2 hrs. (2) the factory "distressing" that is done to the finish is way too uniform to actually look distressed. But I got over that. (3) once the drop leaf was raised, I have not been able to lower it. Still working on that one. I would definitely recommend this kitchen island, just know what you are getting into.
