Know before you buy
End-grain construction is highly durable and features a self-healing surface, meaning the wood fibers close back up after being cut. This design is significantly gentler on your knife blades compared to edge-grain or plastic cutting surfaces.
To keep the wood hydrated and protected, regularly apply Boos Block Cream with Beeswax. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the wood in water, and always wipe it dry after cleaning to prevent warping or cracking.
Yes, the six copper pot hooks are designed to slide along the flat copper tie bars. You can easily reposition or remove them to accommodate your specific cookware and utensil collection.
The Boos Pro Prep Bloc comes at a fixed standard height of 36 inches. This is the industry standard for kitchen countertops, making it an ideal height for comfortable food preparation.
The cherry slatted lower shelf is built to be sturdy and functional, making it a great spot for storing heavier items like Dutch ovens, mixers, or extra mixing bowls. However, it is best to distribute the weight evenly across the slats.
The island typically requires some assembly upon arrival. Please refer to the included instructions to ensure the base and top are securely fastened for maximum stability.
