Crosley LaFayette Kitchen Island with Granite Top

I've had so many compliments on my island. It is perfect for my kitchen. It wasn't that hard to put together even though I'm am not very good at that sort of stuff. I would recommend it in a minute.

The island appeared exactly as it was online. It looks much more expensive that it was and it matched my white cabinets well. I knocked off one star for the smell the inside of the cabinet has. I suspect this was made in China and like many items that come from there, there is a slight chemical odor. I have not attempted to get rid of the smell but I though it was worth noting. I am still glad I purchased it though.

It looks beautiful; the granite top is gorgeous. Instructions were very easy to follow, everything was well packed and labeled. It took me a little bit less than 3 hours to mount and you definitively need someone with strong muscle to put the granite top on.

Pro: Good Price Good Construction Cons: Assembly Required Expensive Shipping Costs

I would really give this 5 stars on quality all around. The only issue is setup. Pros ⢠Quality for the cost is great. ⢠I have this in my office/showroom kitchen. We are a graphics design company and needed something to give storage, counterspace and a nice look. The quality of it is very nice. Cons ⢠Putting it together will take quite some time. ⢠I am not one to put things like this together, so I had a friend do it. Every individual piece needs to be put together and this will take quite some time. It took him an hour or two (though he puts office furniture together as a business everyday), it would have taken me days to put this together.

Bought this item for my son and his fiance for Christmas. It's the perfect size for their kitchen and it looks great. It took my son about 3 hours to assemble. I like it, though I was expecting it to be somewhat sturdier and the wood a little thicker. Overall they are very happy with the island.
