The conventional kitchen positions the cook towards the wall and away from those he may be entertaining. It creates a sense of loneliness and disconnect--as if he is on an island by himself, if you will. With a kitchen island, this problem is solved when the "community" is brought into the realm of the kitchen where guests are able to bear witness to how the glorious cook works his magic. Now unattached from the counter, the kitchen island permits access from all sides so the kitchen is now a place for friends and family to gather, share and commune. Cooking, which has historically been a solitary activity, will instead be transformed into a time of socializing in addition to accomplishing the gastronomical activities at hand.
The benefits of efficiency achieved with a kitchen island are endless.

Our most popular kitchen island in store right now is the "56-Inch Wood Kitchen Island with Butcher Block Top". It measures 56-inches in length, 24-inches in width and about 38-inches in height. This state of the art kitchen island is made of solid oak wood and has a butcher block countertop. The walnut and ash butcher block top not only adds a great accent to the overall island but it also offers a sturdy surface on which you can chop your food and perform normal cooking duties. The kitchen island's base is composed of hardwood which has been properly dried and finished to prevent warping and cracking. It also has a plentiful shelf-space and ample storage for various amenities in the kitchen. |
