Kitchen Islands on Wheels
Emily is a young, talented designer, whose professional interests gravitate towards kitchen and dining spaces. She prides herself on her attention to detail, obsession with functionality, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
Sometimes it's easier to clean a space, if there is nothing in it. But your kitchen island is heavy and hard to move. With kitchen islands on casters, simply roll away the island, clean underneath, then roll it back. This is also a great addition to a kitchen where more space in certain areas is needed. Just move the island to compensate. And lockable casters keep it in place.
