Customer Reviews for HOMESTYLES Gouldsboro Kitchen Island with Granite Top

It’s very very nice. The color definitely needs to be described as light yellow no where near white. The chairs shown with it are perfect other than they dont fit at the table and under unless the leaf is up. It looked fairly easy For my husband to put together :)

Was looking for a kitchen island that was good quality and offered some storage space. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend. Please note that the top piece is EXTREMELY heavy and is essentially the keystone to the whole island. Without the top the four walls aren't as solid. Make sure you assemble the island in the location you wish it to reside as it is hard to move once you start to assemble and virtually impossible to move once the top goes on. I ended up getting new hardware for the drawer and cabinet pulls just for a different look and was pleased it fits standard door/drawer pulls. I would definitely recommend but just be careful and have someone to assist with the heavy lifting.

High quality product

It’s a very nice island lots of space and very sturdy not cheap and flimsy - holds a lot of weight

Great sturdy product. Even though I had some issues with damaged parts, I contactes the manufacturer and they replaced the parts immediately. Less than a week

Thank you for the wonderful customer service!

Challenging to assemble, but we love the finished product

Very nice piece of furniture. Everyone loves it. Have not used the top as work area yet so don't know how it will hold up. Love that the inside space is large enough to hold a lot of big pots and other things. Very heavy but will slide easy if need to move some.

Poor quality for the money, not easy to put together. the drawer hasn’t worked correctly since we got it. The shelf inside the cabinet has fallen repeatedly and The top stains easily too. Do not recommend

The assembly was going good (one improvement would be to either provide longer Allen Wrenches or state assembly will be easier using a longer Allen Wrench). When the instructions stated to put the island on the base to put on the extension supports the back panel assembly fell backwards causing the screws hold the back panel assembly to break loose. I expected instructions like this for a unit costing $100-$200 but not for something costing $760. If they had informed me to run tape across from the front panel assembly to the back panel assembly on both ends I would be fine with this but there was nothing stating that this assembly would fall backwards. This really upset me that this happened. the only way that back panel is supported is when the granite top is on the unit. I can not express to you how disappointing this is to me. It's a nice looking unit when it is all assembled. Now moving it to the final location is going to be challenging as I don't have confidence that island will stay together. They really need to fix this issue.

Reasonably easy to assemble. Recommend 3 people to lift the top into place. Finished piece was nice, and practical.

Awesome .. the only thing is to install the top without the Leeds and put the leaf on last .. you will have problems with the leaf on ...overall great island

Overall I do like this item and it serves the purpose for which we purchased. I have had this for about two weeks now and there are some mis-alignments in with the drawer that my husband is able to correct. I do like the study top, wish the rest would be as sturdy. It did arrive with a few dings luckily on the inside where nobody can see them. All in all nice, not sure on the price to value its a bit on the high side.

The quality of the product is good. My only complaint is that the top granite portion stains very easily.

It was time consuming to put together - 3 1/2 hours. Overall, after being put together this was more than I expected and so beautiful. Very happy with this purchase.

I loved

States it was white, but was actually very off white with yellow tint had to paint it white to match kitchen cabinets

Some of the screws didn’t work and I had to purchase longer ones. Also on one of the doors the wood was chipped and damaged. They came in two heavy boxes so I did t want to return it but I’m bummed about the damaged door

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality, for the price

Very sturdy. Came in 2 boxes that were large and heavy. Need multiple people to help. Putting it together with a friend was easier than I thought. Love it in my kitchen!

Two relatively high priced items purchased st home depot. Very disappointed.

I was looking for a reasonably priced attractive kitchen island for our new home and this one initially appeared to fit the bill nicely. The island went together and looked great. However, after using the island for the past 3 months I have noticed that the granite top does not wear well. I placed a flower vase (dry bottom) on the granite and after two days it left a permanent ring. There are also other areas on the granite and on the wood that show wear, and again we have only been using this island since August 2019. We have cleaned it using the manufacturer's recommendations and while it does clean up well, it looks like we've had it for years instead of only 3 months. It appears that the granite isn't sealed and is susceptible to marks and staining with normal use. Additionally, the groves surrounding the granite are food/dirt magnets and are difficult to clean. For the price that we paid I would have expected it to be more durable.

Very nice product. Was packed well. There were a couple of spots that were damaged, we were able to repair both.Very happy with our choice.

I'm very pleased overall. One piece was damaged but they got the replacement part to us in just a few days. Everything was labeled nicely and instructions fairly easy to follow. Top is heavy so need two people for it.

I love the island itself but the delivery and issues getting resolved was hard. The customer service reps get a 5 star though

Quality is excellent. Looks very nice.
