I live in a 100(+) year old house with a kitchen that just does not have much flat working surfaces. The kitchen is big by today's standards so there was a lot of open space in the middle of the room. I looked in Home Stores, Bulk Big Box Stores, and Kitchen Supply for a work table I could use as a center island and workspace in my kitchen. I could find nothing that satisfied my need. The problem is all the stores have a very limited variety because of sales space. I went to Amazon and saw a vast number of offerings. I was able to scroll and then there this table was. The perfect size. It sits in the middle of the kitchen with plenty of surrounding room for sink, stove, breakfast table and storage chest. To top it off it is made of 100% Stainless Steel. It arrived boxed. The assemble was simple and involved just a few steps. One extra nice feature is the leveling feet that adjusted for a level work surface on my slightly sloping 100 year old pine flooring. Nice gauge of metal, very substantial legs, adjustable lower shelf and a very cool industrial chic look.
