Know before you buy
To keep the maple in top condition, regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or butcher block conditioner. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners and wipe up spills promptly to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood grain.
Yes, the LaSalle Kitchen Island offers customization options for the hardware. You can select different pulls to better match your existing kitchen cabinetry or personal aesthetic.
The knotty alder shelf is built for durability and can easily support heavy items like stand mixers, dutch ovens, or stacks of cookbooks. Its solid construction ensures it remains stable under the weight of your kitchen essentials.
The undermount soft-close slides are designed for long-term, low-maintenance use. If the drawer ever feels sluggish, simply ensure the tracks are free of debris, as the mechanism itself is self-contained and does not require regular lubrication.
The 36-inch width is quite versatile, making it an excellent choice for medium-to-large kitchens that need extra prep space without overwhelming the floor plan. We recommend measuring your available clearance to ensure you have at least 30 to 36 inches of walking space around the island for comfortable movement.
