apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Agree!!! Just re-did our kitchen entirely in larger Boos pieces, together with a commercial corner 3 bay sink. Modern and warm. Very high quality. Bought them through a commercial kitchen place here in Connecticut, and the prices were lower than you can find online.

Another, less expensive option for a similar result is to go to a restaurant supply store and get one of those standard work tables with stainless top and galvanized legs and bottom shelf. Ours is 24 by 24 and cost about $150. Then add a big Boos cutting board on top -- ours was $40.

I've wished for a spot to put that cart FOREVER just because I love the combination of materials and the indestructible-ness of the thing. Being without a free parking spot, I settled for the 4" thick, 18" square Boos chopping block instead. It's one of my favorite kitchen gadgets but it's definitely the kind of thing that needs a permanent home on the countertop.

This is so gorgeous. I have an elfa cart with cutting board but it's really too flimsy to use for any serious prep. me want.

I must admit that the appeal of this item is lost on me. While I like the idea of a cart, the bulky/blocky aesthetics are a in my opinion a thumbs down.

though i've long since gotten over the end of my relationship with my last live-in boyfriend, i still feel palpable twinges of remorse over the loss of the Boos Cucina D'Amico that he took with him...

sigh...

anyone have any thoughts about the Somerset Kitchen Island from C &B? I live in a studio (200 sq. ft) and have basically no counter space. I was thinking this could double as both counter space and storage, and with a few stools a table.

I agree as well. Though I have been wanting to implement something along the lines of what Lesley recommends. After that comment, I would really like to persue this idea. Any recommendations for a restaurant supply store in or around the Philly area? And Lesley or anyone -- where can I find a Boos cutting board like the one she describes (and for that price!)?

Thanks! Nice post.

www.irawoodinc.com carries most or all styles of Boos boards and blocks, as would the sites listed in the original post I would assume, possibly for better prices since they beat Ira Wood on price on the cart. Regardless, many of the thinner Boos boards are quite inexpensive given the lovely quality.

i the complete john boos line and i plan on purchasing a similar cart on wheels but with a removable butcher block.

Thanks splatgirl. Much appreciated.
