LaFayette Solid Granite Top Kitchen Island - Black - Crosley: Hardwood Storage, Towel Bar, 4 Doors & 6 Shelves

Love love love. I’m renting a small apartment. Its’ few & small white traditional cabinets have a black granite countertop. When I saw this island I knew I had to have it. IT is PERFECT, beautiful and great quality. Solid as a rock and looks like it is custom made for my kitchen. The black granite top matches perfectly with the counters. Love that my paper towels are somewhat hidden from sight now & off the counter with the built in wood paper towel holder on one side! The other side has what Crosley calls a spice rack with a built in towel bar underneath. This rack now belongs to my Corgi and her treats in lovely containers. The cart has wonderful storage for all my food & beverages. There is room left for some smaller appliances, and the drawers accommodate my cutlery and extra cooking utensils. It’s so wonderful to now have 2 drawers, more cabinet storage and more counter space!! I’m using this cart as a room divider to create a distinct kitchen area in my small apartment. The person that built it for me said it was easy to build (he has experience) and he enjoyed doing so. He really likes the cart & its’ quality materials too. The build begins with the top of the cart so have the granite top close by. When the cart arrives it’s in 2 really heavy boxes. The granite top is extremely heavy. The box for it has strong straps to help move it. Lifting either of these boxes is impossible for even strong women. Strong men are needed! Women can slide the boxes using leg strength to help if alone. If you have a platform cart that will help. The build was done by one person with occasional assistance to hold part of the unit. Attaching the granite counter definitely is a 2 strong people requirement so it is not dropped and cracked. During shipment the granite top box arrived with no damage and the granite was undamaged. The cart’s box had a tear on one end but the cart was undamaged. All parts were in the box. The wrong legs were in the cart box. I called Target and they immediately contacted Crosley who immediately addressed the issue with a phone call and they sent the correct legs at no charge. Great customer service from both companies. Get it. It’s built to last and you will love it. I got it on sale plus my Target 5% off. In addition I had an additional 10% off any online item so I really saved on this higher end quality cart. It’s a higher priced item but worth every penny ❤️ I am ordering the smaller 1 drawer, 2 doors white matching cabinet. This one will have the stainless top and I’m using it as a mini prep table. Crosley told me to use a cutting board when prepping because the stainless top is not the same THICKNESS as a commercial kitchen prep table stainless steel. I will get a large titanium cutting board to use for prep time. Can’t wait to get that! My small apartment is going to have a super kitchen!! …… When it’s all organized I will attach a photo.

This island is great quality, great price and looks good. Only one mark on it, would not rate it lower for that. I sanded it and painted it to cover it up. Lots of pieces but surprisingly easy to put together. Highly recommend this product.
