I simply just want to pat myself on the back.

I put this together yesterday and today made homemade biscuits and gravy. This came in a few dozen pieces not to mention the few hundred screws and bolts. Whew, I have wanted a kitchen island on wheels for a long time! Now I can make all kinds of goodies!!!

I applaud your efforts! This is one beautiful island. And the fact that you can move it where you want it is a bonus!

I hope at least two of the wheels lock...

Enjoy!

Yes the wheels lock. My next endeavor will be sweet rolls, now that I have a place to roll them out.

it's a decent size but i still somehow manage to deflect baking with "i don't have the room." way to shame me into making biscuits

you should come hang out with the cool kids in the cooking and baking group.

And I nearly had a heart attack when I opened it and saw all the pieces. I thought for sure it was a 2 day project. But the instructions were plain and all of the pieces lined up correctly. I was done in 3 and a half hours.

May I ask where you found it? The style would go great with my kitchen and I could use a small rolling island.

That'll be so handy. Extra storage, and the paper-towel holder on the end...I would bet no screws or bolts were left over.

It'll make so many tasks easier in the kitchen (my favorite place!)

I don't think many of us do when we've done something we're proud of.
Good for you!!

It seemed impossible when I first opened the box. But I just took it one step at a time.
