This is a beautiful kitchen island. I wrote a past review explaining my frustration with the in-home delivery process that you can read, but ultimately, I'm very happy with the final outcome and what I received. My advice to others is to ensure that they seal the marble top. This will help with staining and overall maintenance. You can buy a sealant from you local Ace Hardware and apply it every 2-3 months or so.

I first purchased this island when the earlier this year and when I received it, my husband and I had to assemble it and the top had a large crack along the top. The top resembled what is pictured online. Our replacement island came later and CB@ assembled it in house for us this time, but the marble top is heavily grey and gold which clashes with our kitchen. We just received the potential replacement (thank you CB2 customer service!) hoping it would be more whit, but unfortunately its still the same color combo of what we have. We love the island for its functionality, but have to say I'm disappointed by the heavy color differences from what was pictured online when we wanted a white marble countertop.

I bought 2 of these a few months ago and they look beautiful, but one came with a large crack in the marble top (which CB2 is replacing) and the other is starting to show some cracks beginning to form. Needless to say, you HAVE to maintain these marble countertops by re-sealing them regularly. Re-seal them every 3-6 months to be exact. As long as you know this going into it, these can be a fantastic addition to any space. They are bright and lovely pieces that stand out, but not too much.

I’ve had this for 2 years and there are cracks in the marble on both sides of the table at this point. I noticed the first crack about a year after owning it. It is an expensive piece so needless to say this is a huge disappointment

Needed something for my NYC apartment - stylish, functional, not bulky - and then i came across this beauty! It's classy and stunning in person, and has upgraded my kitchen astronomically! But wait, there's plenty of storage and the overhang can house good sized counter stools. This is the complete package! You're not going to find better bang for your buck, i've looked everywhere, trust me. (The only thing I'll mention is, make sure to use a good sealant on the marble top before use, you don't want any dirt or spills to set in).

I bought this island for my apartment because 1. It’s gorgeous and 2. I needed more storage in the kitchen. This island was the best purchase I’ve ever made and I’m quite the shopper. I’m not joking, I’m so happy with it. It’s super high quality and well worth the money. The marble top is stunning and the high gloss base is so sleek. It gave me so much more storage too! Don’t think about this one, it’s a winner for sure!

Love this island! Just arrived today and I'm really happy with this purchase. It's beautiful and fits perfectly in my small city apartment. Gives me plenty of extra storage, seating and adds some extra class to my space. The marble counter looks more colorful in person (online appears more white- in person with more grey/gold tones FYI). The delivery was just tremendous as well- very professional and accommodating. Really happy with this one!

I recently bought a new home but have a very oddly shaped kitchen. This island is exactly what I needed to provide seat and storage! It looks great with barstools but most importantly has tons of storage. Now all the clutter in my kitchen is gone! The real marble top looks gorgeous! It is very sturdy and well made. I'm so excited to finally have a piece I can build the rest of my kitchen around. The coloring is very versatile as well. It can really go with anything!!

All other kitchen islands are wood and industrial looking and I didn't want to spend a fortune buying a custom kitchen island for my apartment. Luckily, CB2 released this very modern marble kitchen island. When they first released this product, it was a complete hassle and so much confusion with delivery but luckily after months, I got my island. It was well worth the wait. The island is made of lacquer, very easy to assemble, the marble looks gorgeous on top. My only complaint about the marble is that if you look at it very closely, it looks like 2 marble pieces are stacked to each other. Not sure why it was constructed this way.
