Perfect baking center hidden in a beautiful piece of furniture. Now we can mix cupcakes within view for the children sitting at the counter, serve them when you're done, and clean up to a spiffy looking kitchen when others come.

Created a bake center, but also store larger appliances that are too tall for the regular kitchen cabinets, ie the slicer. There is nothing about it I don't like. It is roomy, flexible top allows room savings. Works great as a breakfast bar as well.

Comments about Sunset Trading Sunset Trading Tile Top Kitchen Island - FREE Inside Delivery!:

Pros:
- Beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice.
- Larger than expected. Great for our large kitchen/dining area.
- Large, useful work area, about 3' X 5'.
- Good quality tropical wood. Looks like rubber wood.
- Great design. Convenient large storage areas, small display areas, wide and deep drawer.
- Everything fits well out of the box, no drilling needed.
- Should last a long time with some modifications (see below).
- Shipped in two packages; the assembled top and the assembled bottom unit. Homeowner assembly minimal compared to islands from other dealers.
- Supplied legs are great. Easy to replace with wheels if you desire to.

Cons:
- Made in Thailand, not "New England" as the computer display implies. All screws and the barrel bolts are extremely poor quality. These should be replaced for longevity of the unit. I replaced useless supplied barrel bolts with quality spring loaded barrel bolts. Or, screw down top as another reviewer suggested.
- Many stripped screws as shipped. When you replace screws (highly recommended), pick one size thicker.
- A lot of hidden masonite or MDF. Screw into this with gentle caution, reinforce with glue where appropriate.
- Poor drawer construction. Homeowner should reinforce the drawer back corners and base with glue and "L" brackets.
- Top is very heavy. Help needed to place on base.
- Supplied white glue is poor quality. Use Titebond, epoxy, or equivalent.

Assembly, upgrading hardware, and reinforcing unit construction took me under 2 hours. We're very happy with this island. Don't expect $4,000 custom construction, but it's a good deal for the price and a very attractive addition to your home.

The guides for the top are not really the best mechanism they could have used.

Comments about Sunset Trading Sunset Trading Tile Top Kitchen Island - FREE Inside Delivery!:

The good:
- Beautiful piece of furniture.
- Large size perfect for our big kitchen.
- Good quality tropical wood. Looks like rubber wood.
- Easy assembly (see below for problems in this)

The bad:
- Poor quality hardware. Screws are very soft so it's easy to wreck the Philips slot. I replaced them with better quality screws. The barrel bolts are useless to secure the top. I replaced them with brass spring loaded barrel bolts.
- Poor quality white glue came in box. I used Titebond wood glue.
- Drawer sides and bottom were not glued. Corners are held with screws rather than better quality mortise and tenon construction. I took drawers apart and glued everything. I doubt that original construction would hold up to much use.
- Top is VERY heavy. You'll need strong help to place it on the island.
- Finish looks like lacquer rather than hard varnish. If so, it's not too bad because lacquer is easy to sand down a bit and cover with varnish later on.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was prompt, but I was totally in the dark about when it would arrive until a phone call that it had arrived in San Diego. The two boxes were on a pallet and were well protected.

Comments about Sunset Trading Sunset Trading Tile Top Kitchen Island - FREE Inside Delivery!:

the only thing i found bothersome was the screws that we were given to attach the door knobs with. It was not an easy task to attach those to the drawer and the doors. We ended up having to purchase different screws, which then made the assembly go much smoother
