Description
The Grand Americana Workcenter pays tribute to classic American craftsmanship, with generous storage space, a sturdy work surface, and timeless style. A food-safe butcher block top crowns this work center. It features a wide top drawer, easy-access open storage shelf, and a pair of deep 11-inch drawers with smooth glides. Designed with the household cook in mind, the Grand Americana will put an end to getting on your knees to search through deep cabinets. This beautiful product is crafted from oil-finished natural yellow birch hardwood, which is indigenous to the Northeastern U.S. and ranges in color from blond to a darker walnut shade; the natural variation in color allows this cart to coordinate with your existing decor. Satin nickel hardware completes the look. Locking caster wheels provide convenient mobility or stationary use as needed.

This work center ships ready to assemble. The process is easy, requiring only common household tools. Furniture will be shipped with all other necessary hardware and easy-to-follow instructions.
The top of this work center is made for chopping and cutting, and any scratches can be removed with high-grit sandpaper. Recent studies indicate that wood is safer for food preparation than plastic or glass cutting boards; bacteria like salmonella disappear quickly on wood, but tend to live and thrive on plastic. You should always clean your wooden cutting board surface with soapy water, taking care to remove any food particles and dry the board immediately.
To maintain the beautiful finish of your butcher block top, always wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth and use a mild detergent. You should never soak the wood or let water stand for long periods of time, as it affects the grain. Rinse well and towel-dry before applying new oil. We recommend Catskill's Original Butcher Block Oil, although drug store mineral oil can also be effective in sealing wood. Oil will enhance the color of the wood and offer short-term protection. The old adage of oiling the surface once a week for the first month and once a month for the first year is appropriate, imbuing your cart or island with a rich, golden glow.

Comments about Catskill Grand Americana Kitchen Cart & Workcenter:
The butcher block itself is beautiful and is great for additional workspace. However, given the price, I was expecting some higher quality wood pieces and paneling (some of which clearly looked like cheap pressed particleboard with highly variable wood grain. Additionally, some pre-drilled holes were incorrectly placed or of the wrong size, requiring additional holes to be drilled. Customer service was good with replacing missing pieces.

Comments about Catskill Grand Americana Kitchen Cart & Workcenter:
I love the look of this island and it fits perfectly in my kitchen. The solid butcher block top is beautiful. However, despite the careful craftsmanship on parts of this, there are some major flaws. The drawers do not have stops on them, so slide way into the island. Most disappointing is the middle shelf piece of "wood" which is actually a very thin, flimsy piece of plywood that does not support the weight of the dishes I store there. (This was one of the reasons I bought this piece.)The photo is misleading. I will have to have it replaced, and have some "stops" put on the drawers. It took an experienced handy man five hours to assemble this unit. Yes, the wheels lock tightly and the legs are sturdy, and it's portable. But I am very disappointed in the above shortcomings.

This piece took awhile to assemble, but the directions were concise and explicit. The piece is the kind you would design a kitchen around. It has "presence".
