Customer Reviews

Cheap kitchen real estate
How many times have you said, "If I just had a little more counter space. . ."? I said it every time I made Belgian waffles. My wife Cathy gave me a Waring Pro Belgian waffle maker for Christmas. The cabinets above every counter prevented the top from opening completely, so I had to put a cutting board across a pair of stove burners and set the waffle maker there. It worked but if I ever needed all 4 burners AND the waffle maker, I was out of luck.

I had seen this work island on my weekly trips to Target and while wrestling the iron to its perch one morning, I decided I had had enough. Target.com was offering the very same item so I ordered it online.

It went together in about an hour though one part, the cam locks, are made of a particularly soft material. If it's not properly aligned with the cam screw, the cam lock will shear off when you tighten it. The maker includes a separate bag of extra hardware, including a single cam lock, but a beefier component would be better.

Aside from that, the work island is the perfect place to both use and show off the waffle maker, while the rest of my waffle-making gear (an unlined copper bowl, a KitchenAid hand mixer and an 8-cup Pyrex batter bowl) are proudly displayed on the shelves below. A rarely used food processor is tucked out of sight at the back of one of the shelves.

If all you need is a few more square feet of counter space, this work island is the perfect alternative to a complete kitchen remodel. Just be careful while you're putting it together.

Nice cart but smaller than stated
This is a heavy cart well worth the money. I was, however, disappointed that it is both shorter and shallower than stated. It is only 34" tall with the casters, and 20" deep. Otherwise, I am happy with the overall quality for the money.

Great Value
This is a terrific buy. I realized it was so heavy in the box because the butcher block is of very good quality, strong, and well-made. As a 66-year-old female who lives alone, I got this baby put together in a snappy 30 minutes. A great addition to my kitchen, and I love the fact that it rolls around (wheels, not shown) can be locked for stability. Very easy to follow assembly instructions.
