The solid wood construction provides a sense of permanence and reliability that mass produced furniture lacks.

Know before you buy
Yes, the hard maple top is durable enough for food preparation. However, like any wood surface, frequent knife use will leave marks, so we recommend using a cutting board to maintain the finish over time.
The drop-leaf increases the depth of the island from 26 inches to 36 inches. This provides an additional 10 inches of surface area, which is ideal for extra prep space or a small breakfast bar setup.
Yes, the casters are designed to lock securely in place to prevent sliding during use. Once engaged, they provide a stable base for standard kitchen tasks.
Yes, you can customize your order to include specific silverware or utensil dividers. These inserts are designed to fit the drawer dimensions perfectly to help keep your kitchen tools organized.
The island features a 3/4-inch flat backside. This clean, finished look allows you to place the island in the center of your kitchen rather than against a wall.
Since this piece is customizable, consider the existing wood tones in your cabinetry or flooring. We recommend ordering wood samples to see how the grain and stain options look in your kitchen's specific lighting before finalizing your choice.
