Kolvern Faraglione Wood Kitchen Island

A 52 inch solid-rubberwood kitchen island with an antique-gray scored base, an oak-wood top, two drawers, and two open shelves.

Two drawers sit under the oak-wood top. Each interior is 2.36 inches high, 19.45 inches wide, and 15.74 inches deep. Below them, open shelves run 10.63 inches high, 32.68 inches wide, and 16.65 inches deep.

• Oak top, antique gray base

  The countertop is a warm oak tone with the wood grain running clearly across it, set above a base painted and rubbed in antique gray. The gray is worn through at the corners on purpose, so the wood underneath peeks out like it has already seen years of use.

• Two drawers, two open shelves

  Two drawers span the front under the top, each with a small dark knob, for utensils or linens you want closed away. Below them, two open shelves run the full width for bowls, small appliances, or serving pieces you want to reach without opening anything.

• Assembly, one person, screwdriver

  Assembly is required at home. Plan on one person and a screwdriver, which is not included; skip power tools on the hardware, since the cam-bolt joinery is designed to be snugged by hand feel, not driven hard and fast.

• Solid rubberwood throughout

  Top, base, drawers, and shelves are all solid wood, a rubberwood, not a veneer over particleboard, so the scored and rubbed-through finish is wearing through real wood rather than a printed layer. Expect natural variation in the grain from piece to piece.

• Overhang clearance for a stool

  The top overhangs the base on every side, with 30.31 inches of clearance from the floor up to the underside of that overhang, enough knee room to pull a stool to one of the open ends. At 35.43 inches tall this suits a counter height stool, not a taller bar stool, and the shelves make the long front side better for storage than for seating.

• Rated to 100 pounds

  Weight capacity is listed at 100 pounds, plenty for small appliances, a stack of serving bowls, or a stand mixer left out on the counter. The island itself weighs about 80.3 pounds assembled, heavy enough to stay put in daily use without feeling like furniture you have to work around.

• 52 by 28 inches

  The countertop measures 52 inches wide and 28 inches deep, close to the footprint of a small kitchen table. Leave enough room on every side to open both drawers fully and to walk a full lap around it without bumping a hip on a corner.

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth

  Wipe the top and base clean with a damp cloth for everyday dust and spills. Dry it afterward rather than leaving water sitting on the seams where the top meets the drawers, since standing moisture is what eventually dulls a painted finish like this gray base.

• One island, tools included

  What arrives is the island itself, unassembled, with the hardware and screws needed to put it together included. A screwdriver is not included, and there is no stool, no bowl, and no decor; what is styled on top in photos is sold separately.
