Kitchen Islands & Serving Carts

First, this island was what I'd consider expensive (I'm a tightwad, sorry). So I really debated before springing for this one, but kitchen space is precious and this one had all the features I wanted - drawer, shelf, towel rack (in that order) and all work beautifully. The most surprising thing about this island is the build quality. This thing seems to glow in my kitchen - something indescribable, but it draws you in and everyone that comes into my kitchen seems to feel a need to start touching the top. I can't explain it. It is silky smooth natural wood and the base is so heavy and solid. I use this in the kitchen for food prep. and I'm what you'd call a "heavy user". This beast is holding up without breaking a sweat. I did notice the top got a little rough after a few weeks so I borrowed some paper and gave it a little sanding and added more mineral oil - back in action. For something I use almost everyday and probably will for the rest of my life, this island turned out to be a bargain."..."  Read more

I am a bargain shopper and this island is a great buy. It has storage space and an adaquate work area, it takes a lot of abuse but stays sound. Great piece of furniture and is small enough to fit in any home."..."  Read more

My block island was delivered today, and Wow its beautiful, very heavy solid 100 percent wood, best of all made right here in America, the cutting area is a little darker then I thought it would be, but its still going to serve me well for years to come..."..."  Read more

Bought as Christmas gift for our daughter. She really liked it, put it to use making bread that very day. Solid, well built, nicely finished. She added some towel hooks, otherwise very pleased."
