The Barrelson Kitchen Island is topped with just that-solid marble straight from Italy. It may not be the most durable option as far as countertops are concerned, but there’s nothing that says luxury quite like marble. Each shelf can only support up to 30 pounds, so you may want to find an alternate spot for heavy appliances like a stand mixer.ĭimensions: 36.25 x 48 x 20 inches | Material: Manufactured wood, metal | Weight: 61.71 pounds | Wheels: No | Colors Available: Black | Assembly Required: Yes Avoid placing hot or wet objects directly onto the surface to increase the usable lifespan of the furniture. Namely, its top is made from manufactured wood, so it can’t withstand heat or wetness the same way a solid wood like butcher block can. Of course, you do have to make a few sacrifices due to the price point. Plus, it has two open shelves-one solid and one slatted-to give you ample room for storing pots, pans, small appliances, cookbooks, and more.

It has a metal base, exposed screws, and faux wood accents that all add to its charm. This budget-friendly option easily does the job and has a unique industrial aesthetic that looks great in transitional homes of all styles. You don’t need to spend a ton of money to get extra prep space in your kitchen. And if you need to shift things around? Though the island is supported by tapered wooden legs, it can be mounted on caster wheels for improved portability-they’re sold separately.ĭimensions: 36.5 x 44.25 x 20.5 inches | Material: Engineered wood and solid rubberwood | Weight: Not listed | Wheels: Sold separately | Colors Available: Black, white | Assembly Required: Yes Above that, the unit has two drawers for cooking utensils and silverware. The doors slide open effortlessly to reveal an adjustable interior shelf you can customize to your preferences. You can hang a seasonal tea towel on the side and use the large under-island storage space for pots and pans or as an extra pantry. If you find yourself wanting even more room? This bestselling kitchen island has a drop leaf on one side that can be folded up to accommodate two bar stools for eating-perfect for couples who live in small spaces without a formal eating area. It’s topped with a piece of solid rubberwood butcher block that’s been treated with a food-safe oil finish, making it the perfect prep space. It also comes in two colors: a bolder black and a timeless white, so it’s versatile enough to fit into both more traditional and more modern homes. It has a classic aesthetic that closely mirrors more permanent built-in designs. It’s easy to see why the Belmont Kitchen Island is such a popular choice.
