Granite and Marble Kitchen Carts

For a small apartment-sized kitchen, a small granite kitchen island on wheels is going to make your life a whole lot easier. The compact size of the island cart means you can wheel it anywhere. The granite island kitchen cart can become your wine tasting table on weekends and your coffee pot table during the week. It can also hold your microwave or toaster oven. Choose a model with a wire basket and you can also have a place to store fruit for that on-the-go lifestyle. There are endless possibilities with a smaller granite island kitchen cart. Or go for a mid-sized granite kitchen island that has just enough space to squeeze into your kitchen. The added mobility of wheeled castors means your island can go almost anywhere.

You can wheel your new granite island to the patio for that backyard BBQ or you can leave it in the kitchen for added food prep space. The solid granite surface means you never have to worry about using the countertop as your cutting board. The island's cabinet doors can hide your muffin tins or basic baking needs. The built-in spice rack can keep your spices neat and organized.

The option of a built-in wine rack means wine for the dinner party is within quick and easy reach. The paper towel rack on the granite kitchen island cart is perfect for those clean-up emergencies. A removable knife rack is another handy feature that keeps your knives organized and safely out of the way.

A granite kitchen island cart is available in colors that will make a splash in any kitchen, big or small. Oak, wenge, natural or black will add a touch of class to any kitchen.

Granite Kitchen Islands

Granite is a very heat stable surface (it doesn't burn), making it ideal for a counter top, and the upkeep of granite kitchen island is a fairly easy. One thing to consider about any hard surface is that it will be susceptible to thermal shock. Quick temperature changes will cause the granite to fracture or break, although don't worry about granite melting (like melamine), as the melting temperature of a granite counter top is approximately 2000 degrees F.

Marble Kitchen Islands

Marble is a stone material that is either a sandstone or metamorphosed sandstone that has been structurally changed from heat and pressure. In some cases marble that is used as a building material is simply sandstone, specifically limestone. Although beautiful, limestone is easily corroded by acid, which can come from vinegar, or even tap water, citrus juices and other common household cleaners. This surface can also scratch quite easily, never use a knife on a marble surface, and food prep is not advised. Look for a marble surface that is matted, as these will not show blemishes as easily as the polished marble surfaces.
