True to its name, the Cucina Elegante kitchen cart boasts a classic elegant design. It combines a solid butcher block style top with a food service grade stainless steel base, bringing the warmth of natural wood together with the sleek modern look of stainless steel. Modeled after European food carts, the Cucina Elegante has a 1.75" thick Northern hard rock maple surface made with edge grain construction and covered with an easy-to-clean Varnique finish. A dovetailed maple drawer with a stainless steel front provides an ideal place to stow frequently used utensils and kitchen tools, and two stainless steel shelves below offer additional storage space. The middle shelf is reversible; when turned over, it offers a great place for wine storage. Each of the four stainless steel legs is capped at bottom by a commercial grade locking caster wheel, making it easy to roll the Cucina Elegante kitchen cart to a desired location and keep it securely in place when positioned. One or two optional ten-inch drop leaves offer additional cutting space when needed. At 35" tall, the Cucina Elegante kitchen cart is the ideal height for food preparation tasks.

Please note: This butcher block table comes with a Varnique semi-gloss finish that seals and protects the wood. The Varnique finish gives the piece a fine furniture look, and eases maintenance, but is not meant to be cut upon directly. If you require a cutting surface, we recommend several options:
1)You can purchase a separate butcher block cutting board to use atop the surface of this table. We have many butcher block cutting boards to choose from.
2)You can sand off the Varnique semi-gloss finish from the top of the butcher block table (while leaving it on the sides) using a piece of fine steel wool (please consult a finish carpenter if you have questions about how this is best done). If you choose to sand off the surface of your butcher block table, you will need to then oil the surface and maintain it as you would an oil finish butcher block.
John Boos & Co is firmly committed to managing environmental matters as an integral part of their business practice. Some of the steps they take to accomplish their "green" status include manufacturing wood products that emit far less carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and other gases than processing non-wood substitutes; using only formaldehyde free and low emission formaldehyde gluing processes in manufacturing our butcher blocks; and having active recycling programs in place with 95% of all raw materials, scrap, and even their sawdust recycled as fuel to heat their kilns. Boos' sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for their local agricultural needs.
