The Saratoga Farm Kitchen Island features decorative turned legs that will complement your traditional or country-style decor. Crafted from sturdy and solid hard rock maple hardwood this gorgeous piece boasts either a lasting Varnique finish designed to show off the natural beauty of the wood grain or a classic white finish. The 4-inch thick end-grain work surface is designed to be easy on your knives; it also resists nicks and gouges and prevents bacteria from entering the wood. This island stands 32 inches tall and is available in two different sizes. You can choose to add optional 2.5-inch commercial-grade locking casters and turn the island into a conveniently mobile kitchen cart. This product ships knocked down for easy assembly.

The top of this island is made for chopping and cutting. Recent studies indicate that wood is safer for food preparation than plastic or glass cutting boards; bacteria like salmonella disappear quickly on wood but tend to live and thrive on plastic. You should always clean your wooden cutting board surface with hot soapy water taking care to remove any food particles and dry the board immediately.
To maintain the beautiful finish of your butcher block top always wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth and use a mild detergent. You should never soak the wood or let water stand for long periods of time as it disrupts the moisture content and causes the rails to split. Rinse well and towel-dry before applying new oil. We recommend John Boos Mystery Oil although drug store mineral oil can also be effective in sealing wood. Oil will enhance the color of the wood and offer short-term protection. It is extremely important to give the wood a good oiling on all surfaces every three to four weeks imbuing your cart or island with a rich golden glow. When it becomes dry and lighter in color it is time to re-oil.
