Furniture Spotlight: Jeweler's Workbench converted to Kitchen Island


Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, January 14, 2011 @ 05: 43 PM

This week we selected a Jeweler's workbench which has been converted into a Kitchen Island as our Furniture Spotlight, Piece of the Week. This piece is item number 2113-1 in our inventory and is selling for $2,999.  This kitchen island features reclaimed wood and parts from an old Jeweler's workbench.   The 3 inch thick solid oak wood working surface has plenty of beauty marks from years of use. We estimate the age of the original table to be between 80 to 100 years old.  Easily identifiable are the areas where the vices and several other tools were used.  

Added onto the piece recently are a stainless steel wrapped shelf under the workbench, casters, faux paint on the interior and exterior and a bar top which protrudes out to accommodate bar stool seating. There is plenty of room for additional customizations such as changing the faux paint or replacing the bar top with granite that matches your counter tops instead of the stainless shelf. Watch as Jay describes why he likes this piece so much.
