The Heart of the Kitchen Island with Drop Leaf is a beautiful, rugged, traditionally styled kitchen island that was designed to give the cook plenty of room to work and plenty of places to stow essentials. The top surface of the Heart-of-the-Kitchen Island with Drop Leaf gives you the elbow room you need for such projects as rolling out dough or assembling hors d'oeuvres. Even if you park a microwave oven on it, you'll have plenty of space for a generous work area.
Below, the Heart of the Kitchen Island with Drop Leaf features a good-sized raised-profile drawer, which is perfect for storing your favorite kitchen tools. An open shelf accessible from all four sides gives you 7 inches of clearance for stowing small appliances, cookbooks, and other kitchen items. An enclosed cabinet at the base is ideal for storage of small electric appliances and any unsightly kitchen necessities. Two side shelves at either end let you keep spices and condiments ready-to-hand. (Each shelf has a brushed-nickel-finish retaining rod to keep your spice jars in place.) There are brushed-nickel towel bars left and right as well; the bars double as handles when moving the kitchen island, which rolls easily on heavy-duty caster wheels (two of them lockable) so you can park it where you want it and keep it securely in place when positioned.
Incidentally, if the heart of your kitchen is a TV, you might find this island ideal: Put a television set on top and a DVD or VCR player on the open shelf below, and stow DVDs and VCRs of your favorite cooking shows in the cabinet!
The 1" thick top surface, drop leaf, drawer and structural members of the Heart-of-the-Kitchen with Drop Leaf, including its fluted legs, are all made of fine solid domestic self-replenishing hardwood. The sides, door panels, the drawer front and the side shelves are made of matched hardwood veneer. The island has a durable food-safe oil finish that seals and protects the wood.
The Heart-of-the-Kitchen Island with Drop Leaf is made in the U.S.A. Environmentally-conscious techniques employed in its manufacture waste as little wood as possible. Manufacturing byproducts—chiefly sawdust and shavings—are converted into wood pellets that are burned to heat homes.
