I built the cherry stained easy kitchen island for my own kitchen... After friends and family looked at it, my daughter' smother (of course my ex) asked if I could buiild her one... we love both of our "islands" even though we both have them along walls in our homes... I added a second shelf for extra storage but it's great for what I call a grocery drop off point... Very sturdy and they both compliment our kitchens... I don't have a picture of it in her home (both of these were in my home on different floors of the house) but she says it matches well with her oak cabinets... Hope you like them :)
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
Approx $150-200 depending if you stain and polyurethane

Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
The first pic I used a medium oak stain and polyurethane... The second pic I used a cherry stain without polyurethane; however I have decided I'm going to add polyurethane to it for a nice shine ;)
