Island storage and drawers

Island storage uses deep drawers toward the work zone and reachable cabinets on the seating side instead of wasting that half behind a blank panel.

Islands, peninsulas and seating on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

Start with the items the island should hold and which side they should be reached from. Drawer depth, plumbing and stool knee space all compete for the same internal volume.

Why this is worth doing properly

A good island gives you prep space, storage and seating without taking away the aisle. We size it from the clearances outward, then plan the drawers, overhang, power and any plumbing inside it.

What you get from us

  • 01

    Solve the layout before ordering

    Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.

  • 02

    Specify appliances before cabinets

    Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.

  • 03

    One crew throughout

    The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.

  • 04

    Nothing hidden without approval

    If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
