Kitchen Island

A freestanding cabinet unit positioned in the open area of a kitchen, providing extra counter space, storage, and often seating. Islands can house sinks, cooktops, dishwashers, or wine coolers and serve as the social hub of a kitchen. A minimum of 36 inches of clearance on all sides is recommended for comfortable circulation around the island.
