This Gathering Block is designed to serve as a centrally-located food preparation kitchen island, providing quick and easy access to and from counters, sinks, refrigerator and range areas. The solid 4-inch square legs support the heavy cream finished butcher block and provide a rustic look. This block can be a stand-alone centerpiece or positioned against the wall or island. This beauty is made and shipped direct by John Boos. This is made in Good Ole USA. The quality is superb and even found in the White House. This also comes with a J.A. Henckels Knife Set.
