"The magic of the Rimforsa kitchen island (or "work bench" if you're butch) is that, space permitting, it can transform a crappy kitchen. If you, like me, inhabit a mediocre rental unit with cooking aspirations that yearn for vast slabs of Verde Alpi serpentine and custom Plain English cabinetry, the addition of 47x26 inches of countertop and several tiers is liberating."
"Its soft-close drawers serve as a home for my flatware and miscellaneous kitchen utensils-of which there are many, and the two tiers of shelving below increased the available storage space I have for baking dishes, pie pans, skillets, prep bowls, appliances et al. While open storage is not for everybody, I prefer it, because the alternative-clanking around with stacks of pans in the deep recesses of a cabinet-makes me want to run down the street and scream at strangers."
"It also comes with a set of hooks for hanging various things off the sides of the island, which I use for my more showy copper pan and cast-iron skillet. But all of these features play supporting roles to the vast bamboo countertop. I could list all the particular kitchen tasks for which I rely on it, but that would require me listing every single thing I've ever cooked in my home."
"If you think about it, a kitchen is only as great as its available counter space. You could have an AGA range and five billion copper pots to piss in, but without a decent amount of work surface, what you can cook and how you can cook wil"
A Rimforsa kitchen island can transform a mediocre kitchen by adding 47x26 inches of countertop and multiple storage tiers. Soft-close drawers provide space for flatware and miscellaneous utensils, while shelving below increases room for baking dishes, pie pans, skillets, prep bowls, and appliances. Open storage is preferred because deep cabinets can lead to clanking and frustration when stacking pans. Hooks on the sides hold showy copper pans and cast-iron skillets. The main value comes from the bamboo countertop, since kitchen quality depends heavily on available counter space for cooking tasks and workflow.
