Solid Wood Kitchen Island Unfinished

This island is the perfect size for our smaller, 11X11 kitchen. We added some carved wood appliques and fluted bun feet (instead of the casters) and painted the base barn red. It's gorgeous and looks like cost 5 times what we paid (we bought it on sale for around $217 from walmart.com.) The island arrived in good condition, no splits in the legs. The top had a couple of dings (one on one corner and two small gouges on opposite edges) , but as we are using it as a cutting surface, that was fine with us. It's quite heavy and sturdy. It was very easy to put together. The finish was smooth and ready to paint. We used a high-end exterior latex for durability. The top is a 2 3/4 inches thick end grain butcher block, which we treated with mineral oil every day for a week before using. It was very dry, so we are continuing to oil it every day. The top must have had a couple deep scratches in it, because there are a couple places that look like they were filled in with a wood putty and sanded smooth. Again, since we are using it as a cutting surface, it just adds character for us. I don't know if this link will work, but here is a photo of the finished island: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=992436477468409&l=14ab86feba

This is a heavy well made butcher block. I stained it natural look's great.
