![]() | very happy with the product by: Tom ✔Verified Buyer from: Salina, KS on: December 27, 2022 |
Really love this kitchen cart. Substantial and well made. Kitchen source beat the prices of other vendors and it shipped promptly. It was missing the 24 bolts needed and we had to go buy those. But the company readily credited us $25 for the cost of the bolts. Overall very satisfied especially considering this was an online order. |

![]() | Love it by: Brenda ✔Verified Buyer from: Le Roy, NY on: October 27, 2022 |
I bought this for my daughter for a house warming gift. We searched a long while for just the right work station for her kitchen and we read all the reviews on this one. One person mentioned the sides not folding down straight, when in fact they do, at least ours did. We got the one with the drawer, they like it! The size is perfect for her space. The wheels and folding down sides make it very versatile. Her and her husband put it together while watching an infant so it must not have been too hard to assemble. Her words to me today was that she love, love, loves it!!! |

![]() | Well-built by: Russ ✔Verified Buyer from: Dallas, TX on: June 7, 2022 |
Excellent build quality, heavy stainless steel frame and a Boos cutting board top, making for a design that's stable, attractive and functional. The wheels are good quality and large enough in diameter to allow the cart to roll easily even with a full load. I was surprised that even the storage drawer had a soft-close mechanism. I am very impressed and pleased with my purchase. It's expensive, but not lacking in quality or functional design. |

Our kitchen is small with limited counter space. This piece is perfect for work space and storage. It is very well made and looks great! Very easy to assemble. More expensive than others I was looking at, but worth the price! |

![]() | What a great cart by: Vickie Hemphill ✔Verified Buyer from: -, Ca on: September 21, 2017 |
This cart is a workhorse! Hung my knives behind it and use it every day. It's convenient to roll out and has lockable wheels that keep it where you want it. There was a shipping dent in one shelf but customer service promptly replaced it. |

![]() | It is fantastic! Love my J.Boos Cart by: DJ Ment ✔Verified Buyer from: Millburn, NJ on: January 4, 2016 |
I am thrilled with the J. Boos wood and stainless cart with the two leaves. The quality is super high end and the wood is beautiful. We easily assembled in less than 1 hour and everything was drilled perfectly. I couldn't be happier - and it arrived before Christmas too! |

![]() | Great quality pain to assemble last step by: liz ✔Verified Buyer from: montclair, NJ on: November 16, 2015 |
If it weren't for the need to bang in the wheels at the end of the assembly process this would be a 5 star product. It is definitely the type of product that will last a lifetime fortunately we didn't break it when we had to push in the wheels! |
|
![]() | Quality Product - Assembly Challenge by: Peter Einstein ✔Verified Buyer from: Portland, OR on: November 3, 2015 |
The product itself merits five stars based on the actual quality of the finished product, the solid design, clear assembly instructions, adequate spare bolts,materials, etc.
However, the very last step in assembly was harder and took more physical effort than all the other steps combined.
The instructions say to insert the casters into the legs until they "snap" into place. Yeah right. Even following the ominous advice that if the casters don't insert properly, to crimp the rings, didn't help at all. It took 45 minutes of muscle, sweat, and sore hands, plus risky prodding of the rings into the receptacles with a flat-head screwdriver, to get them all to seat properly. Fortunately no blood was spilled but this process was tough.
To repeat, product is great, but to get through all the assembly, and then be stymied on the last step, created a lot of stress. |

![]() | Great purchase! by: Greg ✔Verified Buyer from: Salt Lake City, UT on: September 28, 2015 |
This kitchen island is both beautiful and functional and is a high quality product. It adds much needed counter space to our small kitchen and I have no regrets paying a little more for such a great piece of "kitchen furniture"! It is worth every penny!! |

![]() | Great island..very flexible and good looking by: Mack ✔Verified Buyer from: Oxnard, CA on: July 21, 2015 |
We have two kitchens and a John Boos island like this in each one. We love the fact that the sides can collapse making it very flexible for a variety of uses. It is high quality material, solid, and very good looking. My husband put both of them together and while there are a lot of pieces, the instructions are pretty good and all the parts seem to fit together just fine unlike a lot of things you have to put together yourself. Didn't hear him swearing like he normally does when he has to put something together. We highly recommend this product. |

![]() | This is one of those rare items in your ...... by: WalJayShine from: Apple Valley, 55 on: September 11, 2014 |
kitchen or dining room or on your deck or wherever you need a wheel'd cart of this quality, that will put a smile on your face every time you look at it - or especially use it. Being stainless steel, it is shiney for the most part, cleans up very easily, moves around with minimum effort and most useful of all, is the butcher block top and two fold down leafs - if you ordered that option, which is highly recommended by the way. Boos butcher block tops are the best there is and are really what seal the deal on this cart. It is heavy, thereby very stable. All four wheels rotate and all four have locks. They are ball-bearing rotation plate so I would recommend a drop or two of oil or two on each castor once every decade or two. There is NOTHING that will compare with this cart. Everything else is absolutely scrap compared to this. On assembly - yes, you have to put it together - I turned the lower shelf upside down in order to take advantage of the rim around the shelf which will prevent whatever you put down there from sliding off, like when you roll this beauty from inside your home out onto the deck. I put my beer/wine openers in the drawer and put my grill utensils on the top shelf under the butcher block. Remember, this is stainless and will wipe down easily using simple dishwasher soap. For what you get for the price, this is the gold standard. Buy it |

|
![]() | Well Made by: Bronna Shapiro ✔Verified Buyer from: Thousand Oaks, CA on: May 13, 2014 |
Well made good quality functional kitchen cart. We are delighted to have it. I would suggest ordering both leaves as you have extra space when needed and when you want a smaller footprint down they go. The instructions need considerable improvement 1) more details - think like a navigation system 2) recommend use of power tools 3) dry fit first and then use power tools to tighten 4) cart is best assembled up side down. My husband is very handy so he put the cart together in less than 1 hour, but that is likely not the norm. Other then that we are delighted with our purchase. |

My husband and I had it together in no time at all very easy directions except for level leaf instructions for the leave that was tricky but we figured it out. All in all it was the easiest thing we ever had to put together. Its very well made and looks perfect in our beach house kitchen. Thank you so much. |

![]() | Beautiful . . Excellent Quality . . Versatile by: Diane ✔Verified Buyer from: Nashville, TN on: January 2, 2014 |
This island/cart/buffet is beautiful and modern. It is top quality from the butcher block top to the stainless steel body. It's versatility has been a very pleasant surprise. Because it's on wheels, I've used it as a working island in the middle of my kitchen, covered it with a tablecloth to use as a buffet for serving dinner, and as a eating area in kitchen. It is well worth the price. |
|
![]() | Attractive and Efficient by: Shannon ✔Verified Buyer from: Coldspring, TX on: December 26, 2013 |
This island is high quality, efficient, and attractive. My husband and son put it together quickly and easily. It is sturdy yet attractive and I have already received many compliments and have had it only a few weeks. The leaves easily fold up and down quickly. It was more pricey than I would have paid, but the husband picked it out for me and was so proud of himself. Very happy with the purchase. |

This cart is great! I love the quality, the space the shelves and drawer. It adds just what I need to make my kitchen function properly. I got the two drop leafs and that makes for great size adjustments. Highly recommended. |
|
![]() | Beautiful but assembly very difficult. by: Betty Cleeland ✔Verified Buyer from: Chicago, - on: June 19, 2013 |
It is very nice but the drawer was installed poorly and was not only crooked but impossible to open and close and required major disassembly to correct the problem as the drawer would not come out. I called Boos Co. and was informed the drawer is not meant to come out at all. I considered sending it back but with help was able to get the drawer fixed. This is either a quality control problem or a packing problem if it occurred during shipping. |

![]() | Looks great in our kitchen by: Phyllis D. ✔Verified Buyer from: Chapel Hill, NC on: May 10, 2013 |
This cart is just the right size for our long, narrow kitchen and works well as an island. I like the flexibility of the drop leaves. Just one caution: If you use the John Boos cream on the top, use it very sparingly |

![]() | great design and high quality by: Martina Puzanov ✔Verified Buyer from: Franklin, TN on: December 10, 2012 |
This is a great looking piece of furniture. I have the two leaf version. The maple wood looks great and wheels work flawlessly even on my special uneven surface tiles. I use it as a kitchen island, serving card and a bar -depending on situation. It is very practical. Once assembled, it looks great. The reasons I did not gave five stars are : 1. The instructions for assembly are not visual enough -specifically for the attachment of leaf support joints. 2. It says all holes are predrilled -it was not true -the holes for leaf support attachment were predrilled only on the leaf but not on the side of the big main wood board.3. There should be a picture on their web showing how much exactly can the leafs fold down. They hang down in a little angle (they do not fold straight down in the right angle to surface) so do not count on it to have it parked somewhere flush with other furniture. Since I have solved these issues very quickly I give it 4 stars -could give even 4 1/2 if possible for overall great appearance a quality product. |

![]() | Great Mobile Prep Area by: Jim ✔Verified Buyer from: Long Beach, CA on: February 20, 2012 |
Cart is as advertised. Very solid construction, commercial casters make moving around kitchen as easy opening a drawer. The cart easily rolls out of the way when not in use yet adds substantial prep area in seconds especially useful next to sink. Looks great, commercial grade shelves hold cutting boards, colanders, etc.. Assembly should require cordless drill/driver for screws. Highly recommend this cart. |

![]() | Excellent quality, very sharp looking by: Marie M ✔Verified Buyer from: Oxnard, CA on: November 28, 2011 |
Bought the two extension panels and am glad I did for my kitchen which is galley style. This fits perfectly in the galley with room to spare on each side for opening up doors, and really adds to my working counter space. It is very good quality, heavy butcher block, and looks great. You may need some help putting this together as its a bit more than a one person operation. Couldn't be more pleased with the end result, though. |

![]() | get 2 leafs by: Kimberly ✔Verified Buyer from: Phoenix, az on: August 19, 2011 |
Forgot to say that I got both leafs and pretty much keep them locked and loaded. Provides so much space and not a lot of width. Really recommend getting both--and they swing up and lock seamlessly with enormous tension and stability. |

I love, love, love it! Mine arrived in flawless condition, not too difficult to put together if you've got a guy around to help lift it up (butcher block is super heavy). I'd intended to keep it rolled to the side until needed, but am using it as a gorgeous island adding touch of warmth in my stainless steel kitchen. So sturdy, a joy to cut on. |

I love my kitchen cart. I have the one with two leaves. I open it when I have a large gathering. The top wipes up very nicely. It also give me that little extra storage. When I first assembled the cart, we noticed a defect on the stainless steel shelf, Kitchensource promptly replaced the shelf. A good company to deal with. |

![]() | The casters are a rubber/plastic mix. John Boos has not had any complaints
on the casters however, the seam where the plastic/rubber is joined can be smoothed out really easily if needed and they do recommend looking closely at the casters and if the seam has a ridge on it then, take some sand paper and smooth it out. |
