Nice Piece of Furniture by: Beth ✔Verified Buyer from: Pittsburgh , PA on: March 28, 2022 |

Quality wood on top and cabinet doors. Steel handles are beautiful. I love that it functions as a moveable kitchen island. Note that after you put it together, you should treat it with mineral oil or other product designed to protect the wood. The top will have to be retreated periodically as well. So it will require some ongoing maintenance. The sides are thin wood, but they look OK. All in all, pleased by this product. It did take a while to arrive after ordering. |

Great size and lots of storage by: Miriam Rogers ✔Verified Buyer from: Cashiers, NC on: July 21, 2021 |

I love the size of this cabinet and the storage it has. It is very sturdy. But the butcher block tops are very rough to the point of snagging dishcloths and need to be sanded before they can be used. Some of the wood on body of the cart doesn't seem to be finished (raw wood) or sealed. I thought I was getting a finished, ready to assemble product and didn't expect to have to sand the butcher block tops or seal the rest of the wood on the cart. |

Excellent addition to kitchen by: LKG ✔Verified Buyer from: Mineral Bluff , GA on: July 9, 2020 |

One of best “kits” I have ever constructed. Parts arrived without any damage or missing parts. Construction is challenging. Although instructions were detailed excellently in some areas, other areas were deficient in instruction. Have patience and be prepared to redo some work. Overall excellent piece of furniture. Happy we made the purchase. |

We like our table with the top extensions. Fits perfectly in the space and will be very handy when the extensions are needed.
assembly instructions were easy to follow. Very good quality. |

I love them..Bought two and put them back to back for a larger island but can also unlock them and use separately moved to the deck end to end for buffets. The pull out drawers were the hardest part because some of the holes were not exactly easy to figure out since the diagram fits many different styles. Otherwise it could cause a divorce concerning this issue..LOL |

Excellent addition to our kitchen by: Tom Pendleton ✔Verified Buyer from: FOLEY, AL on: April 7, 2015 |

Excellent craftsmanship, materials and supplies. Everything necessary was in the package. Instruction illustrations were great, but the wording could be improved by a good technical writer. Overall experience was enhanced by having two semi-experienced people assembling this.
I would highly recommend this company's (Catskills Craftsmen) products. |

Absolutely gorgeous and better than I expected! by: Liz from: Westfield, IN on: January 17, 2015 |

I can't say enough about this island! I have been looking for some time for an island to replace a smaller island I purchased several years ago online. It worked great, bu t I wanted a more substantial island with a few extra features. This one has more than filled the bill! The instructions were great, as well as the videos and I actually was able to put the entire piece together without help. HIGHLY recommend a power screwdriver as the wood is HARDwood! It is a work of art! LOVE IT!!!! |

Outstanding quality by: Mike F. ✔Verified Buyer from: San Mateo, Ca on: January 6, 2015 |

When I found out this would come in kit form I thought...well...I don't know. However when I opened up the 3 boxes everything was very organized and packaged well. I am very mechanically inclined (I'm a mechanic!) and I found this to be fairly simple to assemble. I will tell you to view the assembly video because you pick up on some things the printed instructions don't specify.
It took me around 2 hours by myself. I would recommend a second person to help on some of the steps.
If you are NOT mechanically inclined then I would ask someone who was for help as this is a bit of a job to assemble.
The overall quality of the piece is outstanding in my opinion. Everything fit well and the finish on the wood was very nice. The only thing I would suggest for improvement would be better casters but you can always purchase better ones.
I might sand the butcher block top just because I would like it super smooth. It feels just a little rough but I'm very picky. Definitely get the oil to treat the wood.

Great Quality by: Rick Chapman ✔Verified Buyer from: Falmouth, ME on: March 27, 2014 |

This unit is all that I expected and more. All of the pieces arrived in good condition and the assembly was fairly easy if you follow the instructions and on-line tutorials.
It is really nice to have a product that is made in the USA and is all solid wood and not composites covered with veneers.
I would recommend to anyone. |

Ok girls. If you can use a screwdriver (battery operated works best/oil is a must), read directions, and use a measuring tool....YOU CAN DO THIS! I separated all the parts...everything hardware included. Then went step by step! Directions are so easy to follow and pictures help A LOT!... I only needed help in one part and that was attaching the "legs" to the door panels. My neighbor came over to help hold and I took over from there. She left and I finished it up! Piece of Cake. It has so much room and perfect for my small townhouse kitchen. I have a bay window in the room and it fits right in! Wish I could include a picture. I have had LOTS of compliments! Beautiful! |

Well built by: Mike McCormick ✔Verified Buyer from: Danville, Ky on: May 7, 2013 |

You need to lay out all the parts before starting and have a large open assembly space. I was missing the shelf support pins but had the needed materials in my shop so it wasn't an issue. Having a hot glue gun will help make the drawer bottom more secure. All in all very nice and met our expectations. |

Does the wood have a finish on it or does it all get oiled? - Asked about product CA-1480 | ||
CA-1480 is an oiled island. Depending upon how humid the area you live in is- this island would require at least a once a month oil bath, if the humidity levels increase you may need to treat the top accordingly. |
