Can I use this island as a dinning table? will the counter serve enough space once you have the drop leave up?

You can seat two people side by side with the drop leaf up. I use it as a counter and breakfast table. My two complaints are that the garbage bin slider is very stiff so you must bend all the way to the bottom island to pull the bin out. Also the knobs for the doors are only 16 inches off the ground, so more excessive bending. Otherwise it rolls well has ample storage and serves as an excellent counter.

Possibly. The back piece is about 12" deep, so a couple of stools would work. But only on that one side. It's terrific for extra storage, though!

Hi! Ths storage piece looks very small and short, would it work as a sideboard in a dining room? Many thanks

I don't think so. I have place settings for 10 plus 9 assorted serving pieces and it's pretty full. I don't think it would hold an additional 57 pieces.

Hello, I have had this island for almost a year. I have had absolutely no problems with it. It is beautiful wood and cleans up easily. The whole island is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. I have gotten several compliments from friends on this piece.

Yes, you can and may I add...the piece is beautiful. I put it together all by myself. It serves as a server in my kitchen and goes well with my stainless steel appliances. I recommend this product because it is very solid, functional and most of all...looks good!

It looks like you can leave the middle shelf out if you wanted to. Please see the installation instructions here: http://www.kitchensource.com/kitchen-islands/pdf/ca-1544-installation2.pdf

No. It is made to fit at a standard height table (28"-30" tall). Counter height would most likely be above that.

It could. I wouldn't buy this table if you're looking for really high quality, durable wood/finish. It's extremely practical if you don't have a dining room and want to eat off a higher platform than a regular coffee table (I turn it into a desk when I work from home as well!), want the extra storage, etc. Beyond that, the table isn't going to look great after a year or so of use, depending on how much you beat it up with spillage, no-coasters, etc. The top has a little wood split running horizontally too. All-in-all, don't buy this if you're looking for something really "nice", it's not meant to be nice, it's meant to be functional. It could.

Yes. Two girls could definitely move it when it is empty. But if you fill it up with stuff that might be different story. It has been a great table for me!

I would say it very much depends on your level of commitment to the project and abilities. As it arrives, probably not. I would also think some ventilation for the unit would be necessary as it does get warm when running. The height I doubt is standard for a counter, but anything is possible. With a little longer lines, relocating the tower on the top, and some ventilation for the compressor I'm sure it is possible, but not box ready to do so.

We would support the other comments. It's a big appliance that would lend itself to a built-in shelf, though best suited to a counter-top. Good luck with it -- hope your's isn't grinding like the two we had!

Technically, I think you could put coasters on this. The legs are separate parts that you attach to the body of the island during assembly. However, this is a VERY substantial piece. Completely empty it is ~185 pounds, so once you add whatever you're going to put in it, it'll be well over 200 pounds. I don't think this would be easy to move around frequently.I will add that I can slide the island around pretty easily for cleaning under it, but I don't try to move it much more. Like I said, it's very heavy, which is what I really love about it. Good luck!

This could potentially work as a Kitchen Island, but the dimensions are small, and it is probably 6" shorter than standard kitchen counter height. For the price, it's a good product, though very utilitarian. I use mine next to my painting easel for my art supplies and love it.

I think it may be possible to add wheels if you have the right skill set to do it. The island is quite heavy because of the marble top. You can actually slide the island around the kitchen w/o wheels. I have hardwood in my kitchen and sometimes I will push it over a little for parties.

I think it will. You would, most likely, have to leave a shelf out in order to accomodate the mixer. I do love this island. It is well made and gives me the storage I needed. I can store many serving pieces in it.

No. This table is more the size of a bistro table which is perfect for small areas like my mother's deck.

I am not the seller, but I bought 4 of these chairs for the island in my kitchen, which is counter height. They are perfect for a counter height island. :)
