The Casual Home island stands out for its use of solid rubberwood for the countertop. Rubberwood is a dense material similar to maple, offering a stable surface for kitchen tasks. The frame uses an "X-side" bracing design, which helps the unit feel sturdy and reduces the side-to-side wobble often found in basic four-post carts. Measuring 40 inches wide, it fills the gap between small carts and permanent cabinetry.
The paint finish is applied in a thin layer, which keeps the look clean but may show wear if hit sharply by heavy metal pans. During assembly, it is helpful to hand-tighten the final bolts on the legs to prevent the wood from cracking along the grain. This unit is designed to provide a durable, static workspace for your most-used kitchen tools.
For a version that includes built-in electrical outlets for your appliances, you may want to look at the Onbrill 60-inch Rolling Island.
