Kitchens without an island usually have the floor for one, just not the budget for cabinetry. This is the practical version: a thick wood top on a black steel frame, rated for around 400 pounds, standing 71 inches tall with the top shelf on and rather less once you take it off. The two-metre cord and the built-in outlets mean the kettle and the toaster live here instead of stealing your worktop.
The top metal shelf comes off. Leave it on and this is a baker’s rack; take it off and you have a clean island top with headroom for a stand mixer. Decide before you load it.
The frame will carry far more than you will put on it, but a tall unit is only as steady as its lowest shelf. Cast iron and the stock pot go on the bottom tier.
Five S-hooks along the rail take the tools you reach for daily — tongs, a colander, tea towels. Anything hung there is off the counter and never in a drawer.
Assembly is a two-person job for the last stage: the top is heavy and needs to drop square onto the frame. Do not tighten the frame bolts until the top is on and the unit is standing level.
Pieces from other collections in the same finish family — the pairings people order together.
A queen with a curved corduroy headboard, two sliding drawers secured by screw clips and 8.9 inches of clearance.
A black six-drawer with two mains outlets, two USB ports and music-synced lighting built into the carcass.
An L-shaped farmhouse desk with four drawers, a hidden under-desk shelf and a charging strip built into the top — a home office that does not look like office furniture.
A 63-inch fluted sideboard in oak: four doors, six compartments, adjustable shelves, and a top long enough to serve from.
