Kitchen Islands & Serving Carts

This kitchen island is spectacular. I recently had granite countertops and new backsplash put into my kitchen. I had a space in my kitchen that needed a large scale kitchen island and I chose to purchase one instead of having one built in. There is a video on Youtube that shows you all the features this island has. It has a removable knife rack that allowed me to store all my knives and toss the round knife rack on the counter. I use the ends of the island to display books, standing them upright so the pretty covers show instead of storing spices like the photo shows. I had a lot of contractors in and out of my house during the remodel and most thought this was a built in island as it is "furniture/cabinet" quality and not some little junky kitchen cart. Every single construction worker/contractor raved about the island and wanted to know where I got it. If the color scheme and size fit your kitchen I highly recommend this island. I also love the fact I can fit two bar stools under one side, I did not purchase the matching bar stools in the photo, I already had some that had a high back and they look great. It has a beautiful wood top, I have already decided if it doesn't wear well I will replace with granite, the base alone is worth the money. [...]"..."  Read more

It rolls easily; holds a ton of stuff and cleans up well. We use it in a very small kitchen from the 40's that only has two overhead and two lower and one under-the-sink cabinets and one small under counter shelf about 30" long and 10" wide to the side of the sink for food storage and lastly, one drawer we use for "silver"ware. This cart is worth its weight in gold in this space-starved kitchen! It holds all of our pantry items in the bottom three drawers and shelves, with the addition of a very small 8-shelf unit we installed in our kitchen for canned goods. We keep all of our kitchen utensils in one drawer and baggies, aluminum foil, etc. in the other. However, we plan to contact the manufacturer, because the screws/metal hardware that attach the stainless steel top to the cart actually broke in two during installation so the top now bows until the hardware is replaced. The doors also are not lined up - the pre-cut holes for screws and hinges are not aligned properly, taking away from the overall appearance of the cart. The little clips that hold the shelves in the bottom are very cheap little plastic pieces and after holding a few bags of flour and sugar for a week or so, one of them broke in two and the shelf fell. Lastly, the paper towel/towel holder is too small for a roll of paper towels and if used as a towel rack - since it rolls, the towels easily roll to the floor if not careful! In the picture it also looked like there was space for spices between the knife rack and cart - there is not."..."  Read more

I use the island to store my pots and pans in the middle section; the left side storage area I use to keep some of my cake decorating supplies (I have alot); and the right side storage area I use to keep my laundry cleaning supplies (my washer/dryer is in the kitchen and there was no place to keep these supplies except the floor previously or haul them out of a closet in a different room). I do some canning/freezing of fruits/vegetables and this island made this process so much easier this year. I really enjoy having this addition to my kitchen and I was thrilled to be able to purchase it for a much lesser price than I originally expected when I first started shopping for an island."..."  Read more

I needed a cabinet next to my free standing stove for counter top and for a place to store my recycle bend. This cart has worked out perfectly. Its style fits my kitchen just right and I love having a cutting board which I have greatly missed for 20+ years. I also love having the knife rack, very handy. I'm very pleased with the cart all around and have received many compliments from family and friends on its usage and how well it is suited for my early 1900 style kitchen. The only problem I had with putting the cart together was that the kit was missing the four screws needed to attach the top board. I was able to find replacement screws in my tool box so it all worked out. I would suggest that the kit pieces could have been better marked, i.e. lettering or numbering the pieces cross referencing to the instructions."..."  Read more
