Kitchen islands were initially incorporated in the kitchen as a fundamental part of family life in the form of wooden farm tables. These early islands offered extra space for food preparation and were also informal dining areas. The islands have become a real icon in today's modern kitchen and often come with built-in cabinets. The built-in cabinets add storage space. Most kitchen islands have dining counters for the whole family to gather around to relax, cook, entertain, and enjoy each other's company.
