What I love most about this Ivanhoe Kitchen Island, is that you can access the drawers and cabinets from both sides. This not only makes it LOOK better, but it also allows it to FUNCTION better. It holds a lot, and the pull out table is a bonus! I also like the bar for the dish towel. I highly recommend this island if you plan on placing it in the middle of the room, as opposed to up against a wall. I replaced the lower hardware knobs to make it look a little more modern.
