I built this Mobile Kitchen Island for our Summertime shack where space is at a premium. Basically, the insides of this shack - which doesn't dignify the word "cottage" - is under 400 square feet. So, having something like this that serves as a countertop, has some drawer and storage, can be rolled (and locked in place) where and when you need it, and then put out the way when it's not used is a great attribute. It's made out of Birch and Walnut, mostly, with various other assorted hardwoods for the top.
