Made with the expert craftsmanship you'd expect from John Boos, the Kitchen Islands with Drop Leaves are essential furnishings for your kitchen. These innovative islands intelligently marries function and style. An impressive Cream finish compliments the natural solid hard maple butcher block these kitchen islands are crafted from. The 1½ inch thick work surface provides you with plenty of clean space for all of your chopping, slicing and carving tasks. For additional work space, the islands come with a 12 inch drop leaf. The wooden drawer presents plenty of excellent, convenient space for your kitchen utensils. An included electrical outlet strip means that not only can they handle cutting jobs, but tasks for the blender or toaster as well, the lower slatted shelf also provides the space to store them when not in use. Safe knife storage is also not a problem with these kitchen islands, which comes standard with a wood knife holder, complete with a blade shield. Complete with rolling casters, these kitchen Islands with Drop Leaves add storage and counter space to any kitchen in an easily portable package.

This is a very sturdy and well made product. I added a knob to the drawer to make it a bit easier to open. The only reason I gave it four stars was because the knife holder that attaches to the back of the cart had the holes for the screws drilled in the wrong place. We were able to remedy this however. I like the fold down side that gives 12" of additional work area. Shipping was quick and everything arrived undamamged.
