I never liked the idea of rolling kitchen islands...I thought they looked tacky and out of place, versus built-in types. Well, I ended up changing my tune... this one works out perfectly in my kitchen. The wood top warms up my white kitchen, and adds great counter space that I use daily. Underneath, I stash my disposable coffee cups and k-cup drawers, as well as a blender and mini food processor, freeing up space on my now-uncluttered kitchen counter (I can finally see my beautiful granite counter tops again). ....I also hide my favorite box of cereal from my husband and stepson on one of the shelves, since they'd never think to look there. :) The two drawers above the doors are too shallow to hold much, so I couldn't put my silverware rack inside like I had planned, so instead I use the drawers for placemats and oven mitt/pad/trivet storage. All-in-all it was a fantastic purchase and it made me love my kitchen even more.
