This revolutionary table is guaranteed to provide a comfortable work space for chefs of any height. The Electric Ergonomic Grande Work Station Butcher Block Kitchen Island features an electric lift that raises the work surface from 30 inches to 40 inches, eliminating the discomfort caused by an improper table height. To adjust this kitchen island to the perfect height for you, simply plug it into a power source and press a button on the control panel. (The left back leg of this custom table houses the electrical cord.)
More traditional features of this kitchen island include a 1.75-inch thick butcher block top constructed of smooth edge-grain Northern Hard Rock Maple, a slatted lower shelf made of natural maple, and a natural maple apron that houses two generous utility drawers. The base is constructed of foodservice-grade stainless steel legs and the drawers are accented with stainless steel drawer pulls. The result is a magnificent custom piece that is sure to suit any setting and stand up to any task.
Please note: This kitchen island comes with a Varnique semi-gloss finish that seals and protects the wood. The Varnique finish gives the piece a fine furniture look and eases maintenance, but is not meant to be cut upon directly. If you require a cutting surface, we recommend the following options:
1)You can purchase a separate butcher block cutting board to use atop the surface of this kitchen island. We have many butcher block cutting boards to choose from.
2)You can sand off the Varnique semi-gloss finish from the top of this kitchen island (while leaving it on the sides) using a piece of fine steel wool. (Please consult a finish carpenter if you have questions about how this is best done.) If you choose to sand off the surface of your kitchen island, you will then need to apply food-safe mineral oil to the surface and maintain it as you would an oil finish butcher block.

John Boos & Co is firmly committed to managing environmental matters as an integral part of their business practice. Some of the steps they take to accomplish their "green" status include manufacturing wood products that emit far less carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and other gases than processing non-wood substitutes; using only formaldehyde free and low emission formaldehyde gluing processes in manufacturing our butcher blocks; and having active recycling programs in place with 95% of all raw materials, scrap, and even their sawdust recycled as fuel to heat their kilns. Boos'sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for their local agricultural needs.
