great storage
Very versatile and works with many decors - I was worried our modern kitchen wouldnt fit with the style but surprisingly, it does. I contemplated changing the door pulls but didn't in the end, and it is fine. As far as convenience, it is terrific. Highly rate this island for many reasons.

Love my Kitchen Island!
I purchased the Belmont Kitchen island and am so impressed with it's quality. I definitely recommend delivery -- it weighs a ton which let's you know it's SOLID!
The assembly instructions were very easy to follow -- though it's a 2 person job -- plan to spend at least an hour of quality time to assemble.
The pieces were all completely finished on both sides -- a definite rarity for most RTA furniture pieces. The extra storage is great and the butcher block top is really just perfect.
I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Great for the price
Got this island a couple weeks ago & I love it! I looked at units that cost twice as much as this with exactly the same specs, so the price is a big buying point. It was shipped in good condition (always a concern in rural areas) & took 2-3 weeks for delivery. It seemed to go together quickly for my husband. He put it together in 3 hrs or so. His only complaint was the tight space he had to work in to install the top. It looks fantastic! The shelves & drawers are deep & the wood is thick & richly finished. I'm very glad I bought it.

Island Love!
I waited several months to review the Belmont Kitchen Island to see if our "honeymoon" with it lasted.
I am happy to say it has!
We bought the island for extra storage and counter space, particularly to use at holidays and for entertaining. It has become indispensible for casual buffets and as an extended prep area. Even loaded with a mixer and serving pieces, the island is easy to move around the kitchen.
My husband to put together in 90 minutes. Though he wants to replace the slides, so the drawers open more fully.
The black island looks great with our black appliances and honey maple Arts & Crafts kitchen. It's been durable, and useful! The love story continues...

Excellent Buy!
My husband and I bought this island a few months ago and absolutely love it! We had been contemplating a whole new kitchen remodel because I really wanted a small eating/gathering area. My kids love to sit and eat breakfast there, or just "hang with mom" while I cook dinner. It's also a wonderful gathering area for when we have people over. We love that the product is made of high quality materials and the overall design and functionality are excellent. We went ahead and bought a kitchen table and chairs to match the black finish. We love mobility of the wheels too. We are now considering buing the cart to match. My daughter and I put it together in about 2 and 1/2 hours - no help needed from my husband!

LOVE!
The Belmont Black Kitchen Island is a fantastic addition to in-city living. We live in a beautiful highrise downtown and while the living space is generous, the kitchen space leaves a bit to be desired, and as is the case in so many in-city units, there's a bit of useless space. This piece fits beautifully in our walk-around area (we have a two-open-ended galley style kitchen). We've placed it up against the windows (so we rarely use it with the extended leaf up), but it makes for a beautiful view as I'm prepping dinner, snacks or party. The extra storage space below is tremendous for the extra gadgets we don't have cupboard space to accommodate and the drawers are fantastic for things like table linens, etc. LOVE IT!

Fantastic!
We absolutely LOVE our Belmont kitchen island. It came extremely well packaged and my husband kept saying how well made and easy it was to put together. We are thrilled with the look, quality, and style of our new island.

super kitchen island
This is a super piece of kitchen furniture with a ton of storage!!! The only issue we had was the fact that it had to be built, and we were only expecting partial assembly. Luckily my husband didn't have any difficulty putting it together, totally worth it. I love it.........

Lovely island though grease and assembly are probs
My husband and I purchased this island we love it. It lovely. The only problems are that it required a couple of hours of assembling to get it all put together, and the fact that the wood top- which is beautiful- doesn't have much of a protective coating it seems, and so grease tends to leave marks. We use murphy's oil soap to clean it but there is still a grease mark. we are hoping that old english light wood polish will help to create more of a protective coating. The island itself is very nice quality and lovely looking. we would definitely recommend it!

Belmont Kitchen Island
Beautiful addition to our kitchen. Fits perfectly in the space, great height and great extra storage. This was an excellent purchase, very well made. I was looking for months for the right island and I couldn't be happier.

Great storage for the kitchen
My wife and I bought this unit about 6 months ago. It provides great storage and more counter space for our kitchen.

Exactly what I needed.
I bought this piece to put in the middle of the kitchen for storage and also to double as a breakfast table. The wood top is great, very durable, and easy to keep clean. It is large enought to roll out dough, and to chop & prep as needed. The two top drawers have nice-looking handles, and are perfect for storing my kitchen utensils and gadgets. The bottom storage area is perfect for storing my pots and pans. I love how the sides have towel bars for hanging my dish towels, and the drop down leaf is very clever. I haven't had any problems with the black finish, although it is cracking a little on the side in a very small spot. All in all, this is a well-designed and useful addition to my kitchen.

Perfect Solution to Storage Issues
There never seems to be enough storage or prep surfaces in a kitchen. We felt quite cramped in our kitchen with appliances everywhere. After cooking another large meal for company, we decided to add the Belmont kitchen island to give us some breathing room.
As others have said, assembly was fairly easy. It took approximately two hours with one person doing the work. The only issue was with the allen head fasteners due to a tough location. Once those were secured, the rest of the unit came together rather easily.
The functionality is amazing. We have managed to stuff the drawers full with placemats, napkins and art supplies. The shelf is adjustable which is fantastic if you're storing a tall appliance or larger cookbooks. The island is deep enough to accommodate a crock pot and the width is significant enough to allow for all of our cookbooks.
We configured the island with the locking casters. The island rolls smoothly along the floor and isn't cumbersome in spite of being full.
The island is placed in our breakfast nook alongside the Avalon-Vintner dining set with the wooden top. They look absolutely lovely together.
As usual, with Crate and Barrel furniture, we couldn't be more pleased with our purchase. Crate and Barrel makes beautiful furniture and sells it at prices that will not break the bank. We are very much looking forward to years of use.

Best part of my kitchen
I love this cabinet/ breakfast bar. My kitchen is small, yet i was searching for 2 yrs trying to find a kitchen island to increase my counter space. I found overpriced particle board, or ridiculously expensive items that were too large. I love this portable. It locks in place or wheels to the wall, when i need more floor space. It organizes all my ""go to" tools for food prep or pasta making. It had to be put together, which was a frightening task, but my husband and I prevailed and I'm proud to announce we are still married. Just don't expect it to happen in 1 hour. plan on 2. But it was worth it.

Perfect Fit
I'd been looking at this island for my small kitchen for a year, to replace a table and give me more room. It fits perfectly, and even lends to more storage space.

It's just perfect!
Perfect size, perfect fit, perfect look, perfect storage space! There's enough space for extra plates, storage containers, my dutch oven and crock pot! (There out of the way; but easily accessible!)
It added "pop" to an otherwise bland kitchen!
I love it!

Awesome Kitchen Island
This has been a great piece! A ton of storage, perfect height, I can wheel it around and lock the wheels... so versatile. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that you have to put it together. It was easy enough for me, but that's because I love to do things like that. Well worth the investment though!!

Great
Belmont shipped quickly, was easy to assemble & gives even a small kitchen a great work area with or with out the extended butcher block. Looks great with the wheels but if you don't plan to move it around, even better with the legs.

High Quality
High quality throughout. Work surface is solid. Drawers are sturdy. Comes with casters or wooden feet. Great instructions and labeling of parts and hardware. Easy to put together, except some of the bolts are diffficult to access and tighten.
