This kitchen island checks all the boxes. ✔️ sturdy, made of real wood ✔️ storage with two drawers and two shelves ✔️ adding counter space to my petite kitchen ✔️ roomy enough for at least two counter stools ✔️ affordable ✔️ adorable (last but certainly not least) I put it together by myself in one hour with only the provided Alan wrench but I would certainly recommend having someone help you. It’s heavy.
