Catskill Craftsmen has become the nation's leading manufacturer of ready-to-assemble domestic hardwood kitchen islands, carts, and work-centers. Catskill Craftsmen manufactured items are made from naturally self-sustaining, non-endangered North American hardwoods, primarily Northern Yellow Birch. Lumber is purchased from area sawmills, then dried, manufactured, and packaged on site. All sawdust, shavings and waste materials generated during the manufacturing process is converted into wood pellet fuel, and used to heat homes. The Deep Storage Island features a solid butcher block top which is safe for food preparation. A convenient drawer and cabinet with an interior adjustable shelf offer an enormous amount of storage, not to mention the side shelves featured on both ends of the island. Locking wheels allow for mobility within the kitchen, or lock in place to provide a stationary work area. The top, legs, braces, drawer, doors and exterior shelves area all solid hardwood, while the side and back panels are warp-resistant veneer. Raised panel doors and drawer add a level of elegance to this functional island.
