Kitchen Island 2-Door Storage Cabinet with Drawers and Stainless Steel Top

I purchased this island to use as a microwave cart. We just recently moved to a more desirable yet significantly smaller home and had to reconfigure our existing items to make life functional in the new space. The dimensions were ideal to house our large Panasonic microwave. Final result: It’s a nice looking island cabinet. I’m going to get new hardware so it matches the kitchen cabinetry but other than this, it blends in very well with the modern style cabinetry. In particular, I appreciate the stainless steel countertop. It just looks cool. One concern I had is that our kitchen has that whole “two countertops” look going on; a style I’m not particularly happy with (and predict will be perceived as an outdated, stupid trend 10-20 years from now). Since the chances of locating an island with a top that matches either the white slate or multi-toned granite in our kitchen was next to impossible, stainless steel seemed like the next best choice. The parts were efficiently packed for shipping. All the components were in pristine condition with one exception: The stainless steel top was a little banged up on the corners. Borderline would ask for a replacement, but it didn’t bother me enough to go through the process of contacting the company. I do NOT consider this to be a “wing it” project. The assembly instructions were adequate but there’s an abundance of components. I was amazed by the complexity of the assembly process. If you’re highly skilled (Eg: A general contractor) and place yourself into the “I’m at work” zone, expect a minimum 2 hours. If you’re not at that skill level or are unable to produce unaltered focus, give yourself more time. Tip: Be prepared with a hand vac to collect packaging debris. Bits of styrofoam (ewww) will fly out as the parts are unpacked. Side note: I would gladly pay more for biodegradable alternatives to “traditional” packaging materials. Eg: Foam made from corn. On the spice rack, one of the pre-drilled holes were missing. I didn’t buy it for this feature so it wasn’t a big deal, but keep this in mind if that’s important to you. BTW: Costaway is the company that sold this. The box included some discount codes which led me to their site. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in need of assorted house stuff.

Si se siguen bien las instrucciones se consigue ensamblar bien. Se lleva un par de horas ensamblarlo, pero con paciencia se logran excelentes resultados. Es hermoso.

Take me and my husband a few hours to put everything together and we like how it looks. Matching our kitchen color perfectly, and it is well made. It has plenty of storage spaces too and easy to roll around. The new piece does has an odor and it’s gone within a few days. We love our new island. Recommend.

This kitchen Island is a beautiful extension to my kitchen. It has many storage and drawers which I can be able to store more pots and pans. It comes with a rolling wheel which can be push to anywhere you want in the kitchen. Sometimes I would just push out to my patio and use the portable stove to cook outside. It’s just so convenient and beautiful. The wood quality is good and the table top is stainless steel which makes it more durable.

Arrived on time and was packed well for shipping. No damage and all parts were included, including all the screws, cams, etc. and there are a lot of screws. It does take some time to assemble based on my experience assembling furniture, but it is designed well and structurally sound, so it is worth the extra effort required. I unpacked it on day one, inspected all of the parts, took inventory, read the instructions, and then assembled it the next day. Since I really hate to assemble anything that works out best for me. The instructions were easy to follow, and everything fit together well. I would say be cautious when assembling as several large panels will be waiting for their turn in the assembly process after attaching cam bolts. So, make sure the panels are not stacked on or leaning up against the bolts on the other panels. I can see where scratches could occur if not careful. Overall, I am very happy with how it looks and the storage. The espresso color matched the picture shown. The cabinet holds a lot of items, and the drawers are nice and deep. I am using it as a coffee bar.
