Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Super Island Plus with Drop LeafCustomer Review: functional but way overpriced for what you get Summary: 3 Stars
Let me give you the advantages first. It is a pretty deep cabinet, so you can put quite a bit of stuff in it, although it would be better if it was one big compartment instead of three smaller ones. The drop leaf is nice because you can put two counter stools at it and eat. It also gives it a large work surface area. The wood it is made out of has a nice appearance and color, and the overall look is very "kitchen cabinet-ish". The fact that you can roll it around anywhere is also really nice.
But now for the disadvantages. First of all, it comes poorly packaged, so wooden pieces are likely to be broken, and you have to call the manufacturer to get them replaced. Next, you have to assemble everything yourself, and I mean EVERYTHING. I've ordered quite a few pieces of furniture that need assembly, but nothing like this. You have to do everything but grow the trees and cut the lumber yourself! Once it is put together, the overall appearance is nice, but it doesn't look like an eight hundred dollar anything. This is probably because the wood parts are thin and some aren't solid wood. In comparison to other kitchen islands, I would say it definitely has a cheaper look. The top is not really butcher block. Its thin and it's basically some sort of raw wood that no matter how many times you oil and sand it, it feels "furry", not hard and smooth. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but I don't think it is the proper type of wood for this purpose. The overall "super" big appearance it has in the manufacturer images is a bit of an illusion. It has a super shallow drawer on top and the two tiny side doors with small compartments on each side. Even the rolling casters are pretty small. All these small parts put together make it look large. I measured the space it would fit in before I ordered it, and was surprised at how small the size actually was. Once put together, I was still surprised at how small it was and how small all the compartments and the drawer were. There is nothing super about it, but it is functional
