I searched for a long time, before the Loon Peak kitchen island caught my eye!! I am so very pleased. I love the open slot on top, where I can push through the waste as I peel & chop!! GREAT feature! The Loon Peak is very attractive, can easily be moved in & out of the main kitchen area, as needed! And, it's just the right size for my small space! I love it, & I highly recommend!!
