Plus, stainless steel surfaces are a breeze to clean. As for style, its sleek and shiny surface makes it easier to match your other metal finishes.
Our Picks
Kitchen island with stainless steel top and seating
Three Posts™
This 50” x 32” island includes five drawers, two cabinets, three shelves, and a kitchen roll holder. Its transitional white and silver design works in modern and traditional settings, too. The included black stools create a pleasant contrast against it.
Designer Advice:
If you have enough room for a couple of stools, create a breakfast corner in your kitchen. Stools with a back are obviously the most comfortable option. However, they can get in the way of your visual flow. So, if your kitchen would look too cramped, swap them for backless stools like the ones included with this set.

Three Posts™
The contemporary look of the sleek steel surface is balanced by a nostalgic wooden design. Choose among a classic cherry, vintage mahogany, black, and white finish. 51.5” x 18”, this kitchen island is packed full of storage, too.

Cart style kitchen island with metal top
This 44” x 31.5” stainless top kitchen island showcases a solid acacia design in a weathered finish. This makes it a match made in heaven for farmhouse and rustic interiors. It also offers a combination of open and closed storage.
Designer Advice:
Cart-style islands are a more flexible option. They also prevent a heavy feel thanks to their open design. When swapping cabinets for open shelves, however, you must add your items wisely. Showcase the most aesthetically pleasing ones on the top shelf: for example, herbs or cohesive sets of pans. Try keeping your utilitarian kitchen equipment on the bottom surface.

Designer Advice:
Kitchen islands with a variety of open compartments aren’t only functional. They’re a chance to create smaller compositions of selected items, too. For example, you could have a shelf for crockery, one for glass jars with ingredients, and one for your prettiest recipe books.
