Handbuilt in Small Shops

Each kitchen island is built in a small Amish workshop, not a factory. It’s measured, cut, assembled, and finished by a skilled craftsman not a machine. Drawers glide smoothly. Doors close flush. Joinery is tight. You can feel the difference just by opening a cabinet.

This kind of quality doesn’t come from an assembly line. It comes from someone who knows the work and cares about the result.

What features should you look for?

Depending on your needs, you may want to consider features such as built-in storage, a sink or cooktop, seating options, or a built-in wine rack. Think about how you typically use your kitchen to determine which features are most important to you.

The multi-purpose kitchen islands from Amish Art offer many great features like adjustable shelves & specially designed silverware drawers.

What is the average cost of a kitchen island?

The cost of a kitchen island can vary widely depending on factors such as size, materials, and features. On average, homeowners spend between $1,000 and $5,000 on a kitchen island, but prices can range higher for custom or luxury options. 

The items at Amish Art will be made to order & made in the USA! You can share special requests with us too, so you will get the perfect kitchen island delivered to your door fully-assembled.

With this buyer’s guide in hand, you are now equipped to find the perfect kitchen island for your space. Happy shopping!

Are the islands delivered fully assembled?
