Alexandria Portable Kitchen Island

I purchased the Crosley cart directly from the Wayfair's website. I was amazed how fast it was shipped. I placed the order over the weekend and arrived from the Midwest to California the following Friday. It ships in three boxes. The first box (about 4.5ft tall x 2.5ft wide) contains the body, the second box (about 4.5ft tall x 1.5 ft wide) contains the marble top, and the third box (8in tall x 6in wide) contains the wooden legs. The heaviest of the three boxes is the one that contains the marble top. I would say it weights about 50 pounds. Everything is well packaged. Overall, I was able to move them on my own.

It took me about 2 hrs to assemble the cart and did it all by myself. The directions were clear, all the parts were well labeled, and everything went together smoothly. The quality of the materials and the workmanship are superb. The parts feel solid along with the color and style of the cart give it an expensive look. Although I ordered it with wooden the legs, casters are also included so that one has both options during assembly.

Word of caution, when installing the doors, which is amazingly easy to do, make sure to pay attention to the location of the top metal plate on the door that aligns with the magnet. If you happen to install the doors upside down, you will waste about 20 min dissembling and reassembling the cart.

I love my kitchen island. It's a great value for the price -a lot sturdier than I was expecting and looks high end. My only disappointment is that I got the stainless steel top. The top is quality, but the brushed silver shows fingerprints, dust and any residue. Top also scratches easily. It has proven to be high maintenance. The wood top or marble top would have been a better choice for me... more forgiving for an active kitchen.

The kitchen island looks very nice and the granite top is a big plus, but the island sways back and forth if you push on it from the sides. In other words, the craftsmanship is not great. Seeing as I made sure to tighten all of the screws to the max, I would certainly recommend using wood glue between the pieces and not just rely on the screws for strength. I remembered to do this about a quarter of the way through putting the unit together, so I wasn't able to benefit from this added reinforcement as much as I could have.

This was very promptly delivered and easily put together. It is a sturdy and compact little cart and just what I need for my coffee maker to have its own home!! Of course the piece is easily movable but The Bun Feet are so nice that it might become a stationary item!!
