Mobile kitchen island trolley

Making a Splash

Mobile kitchen island trolley

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.

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 no more nails to glue it down (I also had this left over from a previous project)

Re: Kitchen Island Trolley

Nice work @craftyhopper! 

 

This is a great solution to create some usable bench space in your kitchen that can be moved around when required.

 

Congratulations on a job well done.
