I have a small kitchen/living room area so I needed my kitchen island to double as a dining table. This required some planning when it came to wiring up the bench as the cable needs to be run inside the table legs, not the cabinets like you normally would. So I came up with this island bench, made with mortise and tenon joinery, and a European beech top. The cabinets are flat pack and custom fit the table.

A big thanks to Studio Dubbled for helping out with the beech top. If you're in north Queensland give them a look: studiodubbeld.com/

    What a great combination of pre-fab and handmade, premium beech and basic pine and chipboard that looks sensational. One of your most professional efforts and something you could proudly add to a portfolio of work for clients to look at and go - Yep, I want that. Awesome stuff Robin.

    Absolutely fantastic idea. Just putting the paint on my removable island. I much prefer a dining table but settle on an island because I needed the extra storage. (Small house.) I might have to figure out how to put a table over my island or dish my idea and start all over. ☹️ Again, you did a fabulous job.

    Nice job. 10 years from now you’ll love the fact you chosed polyuretane for floors. It will last for fantastic more wear and tear than furniture poly. And I guess you will prep for some bbq:s on that island aswell host some young ones with needle sharp forks on the table. May I suggest that you reinforce the cabinet flooring on top of the wheels? Easiest way is to just ad a 4 or 6 mm ply on top of the floor and glue it down with some PL 400 or anything equal. Or any other glue. The flooring is pretty strong when the cabinet stands still. But will take a great deal of beating when you move it around. Put all the things that’s supposed to be in the drawers on a scale. When you see the weight, you’ll understand.
