Know before you buy
No, this unit ships unfinished. It is crafted from Parawood, which is designed to be stained or painted to match your specific kitchen decor.
The island features an overhang designed to accommodate casual seating. While it does not include stools, the depth allows for comfortable knee space for two people to sit and eat.
The unit arrives unassembled, so you will need to put it together yourself. While the assembly is straightforward, it does require basic tools and some time to ensure all components are properly secured.
Yes, the cabinet section includes an adjustable shelf, allowing you to customize the interior height to accommodate different sizes of cookware or pantry items.
The island includes a large bottom drawer specifically designed for heavier items like pots and pans. It is equipped with full-extension ball-bearing glides, which provide smooth operation even when the drawer is fully loaded.
The countertop is made from solid Parawood, matching the rest of the unit. Because it is unfinished wood, you will need to apply a food-safe sealant or finish to protect the surface from moisture and stains before regular use.
