Avalon Kitchen Island - An Adaptation For Modern Lifestyles

The Avalon kitchen island is produced by the Michael Scott Company.

Four generations of furniture makers have brought Michael Scott into kitchens everywhere, but they've held on to design ideas that are as practical, elegant, and beautiful as they were decades ago and adapted them to modern materials and lifestyles.

Much of their furniture is in the very practical and comfortable style of early 20th century home design, but is perfectly suited to 21st century kitchens.

Avalon kitchen islands are a perfect example.

Simple Design With Plenty Of Choices

Though Michael Scott offers more modern designs combining wood and stainless steel or in a more suburban style.

For the most part, Michael Scott islands and carts are legged cabinets or tables that combine practical elegance with convenient storage along with workspace for food preparation, cooking, serving and entertaining.

Available in both painted and natural finishes, the design of the Avalon is suitable for either elegant or rustic kitchens.

Bases on Michael Scott islands and carts are of wood construction.

Finishes are from a choice of hand-rubbed and distressed oak, cream, and black with available top surfaces of maple, Charcoal or Silverado Granite, or stainless steel. 

Some models, like the Avalon with a 42" work surface, have bun feet that can be removed and replaced with included casters when a cart is needed for entertaining in other rooms or for cooking outdoors; a very nice idea.

The Avalon features a two-door cabinet with adjustable shelves for storage along with two large drawers for cooking and eating utensils, and, on the Maple top model, a drop-leaf extension for eating or extra work space.
