Michael Scott Kitchen Island - Comfortable Style

Michael Scott kitchen island furniture is just one the product lines offered by this well-established company.

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.

Michael Scott kitchen islands are no exception.

A kitchen island has become a common choice in home design. Kitchens are often designed around them, in part due to the change  in people's lifestyles and in interior home design.

According to a National Association of Home Builders survey, 80% of home buyers want a separate work center in their new kitchens.

Practical Elegance

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 preparation, cooking, serving and entertaining.

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

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

Natural finishes are hand-rubbed oak, but cream and black painted finishes are available, as well.

Top surfaces on these models of islands and carts are maple, granite, or stainless steel, and 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.

All models have storage beneath, some on storage shelves, like the Monterey, and some in enclosed cabinets, like the Avalon and Peoria.

Most island and cart models have one or two drawers, too.

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.
