Casual Home Solid Hardwood Top, Natural/White, 40" W (373-91) Kitchen Island, Natural&White

This is a well-built piece. American hardwood top is substantial and finished clean. The frame is stable, assembly is straightforward, and it holds up to actual use without wobble or creaking. At this price point, you're getting genuine quality. Drawers work smooth, the overhang is practical, and the footprint fits real kitchens. No cheap particle board or flimsy hardware. If you need a functional island that's built to last, this delivers. Highly recommend.

I searched for a long time for the perfect size island for my small kitchen and this 40” wide island ticked all the boxes. Easy to assemble and lightweight to move around as needed. The drawer is a bit shallow but fits boxes of plastic wrap, aluminum foil etc. Love it!

Overall, good value for the price. Top is very nice quality and beautiful. But the rest is made of cheap wood that splits easily. I had three splits while putting it together despite the holes being aligned and not over tightening. I used wood glue to fix it and hopefully it will be ok. White finish is very sheer, damages easy and not very washable. I put a coat of polycrilic to ease cleaning and hopefully, protect it a bit better. Many reviews mentioned issues with drawer but I had no problem with it. Overall, for the price I paid, I am happy with it. It's a nice size, looks good and was easily put together, even if the quality is kind of meh.

i was nervous to get this with some of the reviews, but took the chance since weve been looking for a cheap island for ages and figured if it came damaged we'd return it. we were very happily surprised, it fits our needs and for $136 i dont think you could do better! we personally found it easy and straightforward to put together, the pictures are clear enough and you just need to pay attention to the orientation of the pieces and you should be fine. put the shelves on the legs, attach the top, put together the drawer and slide it in. i think it took 45 minutes total, and the thing that took the longest was tightening the bolts that hold the top down since there isnt room to do a full turn of the screwdriver, you have to do a bunch of little half turns. some tips to make it easier: * DONT TIGHTEN FULLY AT FIRST. this is a huge one with pretty much any 'cheap' furniture you put together. tighten the bolts enough that the shelves will hold to the legs and the top will stay on, but dont fully screw everything down until you get all the pieces where you want them, because they depend on some wiggle room at first to line up right. this is *ESPECIALLY* important when it comes to the putting together the drawer, because you need to kind of wiggle the pieces around a bit as you go and make sure theyre fitting nice and square. if they dont, back the screws out a bit, hold them square or have someone do it for you, and try again. * TIGHTEN SLOWLY AND LISTEN WHILE YOU DO dont rush screw things in or use an electric screwdriver to speed things up, or youll go too far and hear cracking and split the wood. feel for tension as you screw, tighten till it feels secure, and leave it. dont try to screw down to the absolute max, you dont need it. if you hear creaking, stop! we almost drove too far a few times but since we went slowly, the worst we did was hear some squeak signaling it was too much and we could stop with no damage done. * this one is optional and only if you have two people strong enough but- try attaching the legs to the top by laying the top on the floor and putting it together sort of upside down, then inverting it after to flip it right side up. it just makes it a bit easier to attach the top instead of crouching under it. if you're one person i don't recommend since its too hard to flip back up without hurting yourself or breaking the table. other than that, be aware that the top scratches pretty easily so you might want to try a clear vinyl on top or just be careful. just putting the drawer on top before we slid it in was enough to scratch it. itll work fine for us but i wouldnt use it like a butcher block and cut directly on it, you should use a cutting board. again for the cost, you really cant beat it, and itd be simple to put a clear vinyl on it or something like that. its ever so slightly not level, so we are using a thin shim under one leg, but with the shelves full of things i think it wouldnt be noticeable. none of our pieces came damaged, but if that worries you then inspect everything before you put it together so you can easily return or exchange if need be.

Use the island for a coffee/ tea / toaster area in our kitchen and the bottom shelving is perfect for storing our chrome pots and pans. A nice decorative and practical island.
