  • This double sided metal kitchen island top serves double duty. It's a counter and kitchen table all in one. The curvy corners help to visually diminish the size as well as add a personal touch.
  • The metal was left in it's natural black state. It came out stainless where it was welded and ground down which I fell in love with! The top can be waxed but I left it as is.
  • The top is a stand alone that slips overtop a standard kitchen cupboard base. Heavy corbels were fabricated to add some detail.
