A kitchen island bench on castors providing much-needed extra bench and storage space.
The project
We needed more kitchen space to cook together without getting on top of each other. After researching, we decided a mobile kitchen island on wheels (instead of a fixed one) was the way to go. This trolley has added workspace and solved our space issues, making cooking together much easier.
Steps
Step 1
Headed to our local Bunnings to grab everything we needed - all for $150.
Step 2
Built the Flexi Cube as per instructions.
Step 3
Added castors to the cube using 8G 22mm timber screws (I had these left over from previous projects).
Step 4
I flipped the cube over on to the wheels locking them to stop it from moving. I then placed the timber panel on top of the cube and measured around to ensure it was in the middle. I then used Liquid Nails to glue it down (I also had this left over from a previous project).
Step 5
Styled and placed cube inserts into the cube.
