Using this kitchen island workbench is a breeze. You can use it for food preparation, as a workspace for your cooking utensils, or simply as an extra surface in your kitchen. When using it, be careful not to place hot pots directly on the wood surface to avoid damage. To maintain its beauty, wipe it down regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood finish. Every few months, you can apply a light coat of wood polish to keep it looking its best.
