This is a very high quality unit !! Its not antiqued as much as the website pictures show but you can hit it with some light sandpaper on the edges. still very nice! Understand ALL assembly required though!

Packaged nicely, not too difficult to put together, however much easier with a second person to assist. Definitely need a second person when you get to the top, but even the rest was much easier with a second person. Took us probably 3 hours to get it all together. Looks great!

Pros

Great product. Made with quality materials and looks fantastic. Assembly was a breeze. This is a heavy duty high quality island with a beautiful granite top.

I am extremely pleased with this Kitchen Island. All the pieces were delivered and no pieces were damaged. You do need 2 people when attaching the top and moving it.

I can’t give a fair review at this time. I liked the looks of this island but I wanted one that rolled with looks. My husband and I have given up on putting it together. We completed the first 3 steps then moved the island onto its side to do the next step and all the cam bolt locks fell out and pieces fell off. I have now hired someone to come to assemble it for us.

Really nice product!

I purchased this about 4 years ago and have been quite pleased. When it first arrived I unboxed it and the granite top was cracked. A phone call to them resulted in them sending out a replacement top immediately. They took my word for it and did not ask for its return or pictures of the cracked top. I call that EXCELLENT customer service. It is a nice looking piece and is well constructed and a solid, heavy piece of furniture. The only modification I've done to it is to install an outlet on the end to plug in a coffee maker, blender, etc. Highly recommended!

Beautiful

The whole family loves the island! Wasn’t too hard to put together. Husband put it together in 1.5 hours so not too bad! It is exactly what I was looking for. The only thing is the color isn’t true white but more of a cream color. Still is very beautiful. I changed the knob color to dark gray and the granite is top notch. Very well made island!

Great purchase, beautiful addition to any kitchen......

This a beautiful kitchen island. Easy to build an perfect laid out direction to follow. Takes about 2hrs to build, but once put together, the look is awesome. Don't let the cam locks torment you. Just install the the pins as straight as possible, put pieces together then install the cam locks. Very nice hardwood an perfect antique white as stated..... Well pleased....

The Island I Always Knew I Needed

The Monarch kitchen island by homestyles is amazing! It was easy to put together (about two hours total, with two adults), and after more than 3-years, it still looks as good as the day we got it, which is impressive considering I have small children - so it's opened countless times each day. The slide-out legs and drop leaf make it easy to come up with extra seating when needed, and the top is a solid wood so it is easy-to-clean, and durable for buffet-style serving.
