Know before you buy
Because the top features a natural oil finish, you should periodically apply John Boos Mystery Oil or Board Cream to keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or soaking the wood in water, as these can damage the grain.
Yes, the 8-inch drop leaf is designed to provide a stable extension to your workspace. While it is perfect for chopping and meal prep, avoid sitting or standing on the leaf to ensure the hardware remains in top condition.
The island measures 28 inches in width when the leaf is down. With the 8-inch drop leaf fully extended, the total width increases to 36 inches.
The Grazzi Kitchen Island arrives partially assembled and requires some setup. You will need to attach the base components and secure the heavy maple top, so we recommend having a second person available to help with the lifting due to the 270-pound weight.
Absolutely. The lower slatted shelf is constructed for durability and is well-suited to support heavier kitchen essentials like stand mixers, dutch ovens, or large stockpots.
