FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the countertop?
The rubber wood countertop has a maximum load capacity of 200 kg (approximately 440 lbs).
Can this kitchen island be moved easily once assembled?
While it's not designed with wheels, the island can be moved. However, due to its sturdy construction and rubber wood countertop, it can be heavy. It's recommended to have two people move it to prevent damage or injury.
Are the shelves inside the cabinet and side racks adjustable?
Yes, both the shelves in the side racks and the cabinet can be adjusted to three different heights, allowing you to customize the storage space for various items. They can also be removed if preferred.
What material is the countertop made of?
The countertop is made from durable rubber wood.
Can I assemble this product by myself?
While it is possible to assemble alone, having a second person assist is highly recommended, especially when handling larger panels or attaching the drop-leaf mechanism, to ensure stability and ease of assembly.
What is the expected assembly time?
Info needed: The exact assembly time can vary based on individual experience, but typically, furniture of this complexity might take 2-4 hours to assemble with two people.
What tools are required for assembly?
Info needed: Standard household tools like a Phillips head screwdriver and possibly a hammer are typically required for furniture assembly. A power drill with appropriate bits can speed up the process but should be used with caution to avoid overtightening.
Troubleshooting
Missing parts or hardware.
First, confirm you have received both delivery boxes. Box 1 contains instructions, and Box 2 contains screws. Carefully check all packaging materials. If parts are still missing, contact customer support with the specific part numbers from the instruction manual.
Drop-leaf mechanism feels stiff or doesn't lock securely.
Check the metal folding tripods for any obstructions or misalignments. Ensure all screws related to the hinge mechanism are properly tightened. A small amount of silicone lubricant (avoiding contact with wood if possible) might help if the mechanism is simply stiff, but generally, it should operate smoothly after proper assembly.
Assembled island feels wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all cam locks and screws are fully tightened. Double-check that all components are correctly oriented according to the instructions. If the floor is uneven, consider placing furniture pads or shims under the feet for stability.
Shelves don't fit into adjustable positions.
Confirm that you are using the correct shelves for the side racks and cabinet, as they may differ slightly in size. Ensure the metal pins or supports for the shelves are fully inserted into the desired holes and that the shelf is not catching on any internal components.

Compatibility

Its compact footprint when the drop-leaf is down makes it suitable for apartments, smaller kitchens, or dining areas where space optimization is crucial.
Care
- Countertop: The rubber wood countertop can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the wood finish. For long-term maintenance and to protect against moisture, periodic oiling (with food-grade mineral oil) is recommended for rubber wood surfaces, though not explicitly stated in the product description.
- Cabinet and Frame: Wipe down the black-finished surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- General: Regularly check and tighten any loose screws to maintain stability. Avoid placing excessively hot items directly on the countertop without protection.
