Kitchen work tables are handsome and practical alternatives to ordinary kitchen islands.
Many leave their hearts in San Francisco, especially if they fall in lust with kitchen work tables available at March, a favorite Sacramento Street kitchen pantry and tabletop shop. March is a kitchen store that also offers design services. They create bespoke pieces starting with a client consultation to determine size and needs. Once the drawings and price quote are approved, production begins. Kitchen work tables take approximately twelve weeks to arrive.
The steel base has a gunmetal patina andfeatures a two-inch thick solid wood plank top. The bottom can remain open or be filled with options, including a weathered zinc bin (pierced for air circulation) and slatted bottom shelves. Also shown, hanging from the towel bar [top], is a small leather box to hold kitchen utensils or a favorite cookbook. The box has a flat bottom that allows it to also sit upright on the counter. A larger, three section leather saddlebag is also available. Other add-ons include finger-jointed wood boxes with hinged lids; also black ash baskets.
A smaller turned-leg table features a two-inch Carrara marble slab top with a honed finish. The Farrow & Ball-painted base features a pair of white oak shelves, (Source: MarchSF.com, sfgate.com)slatted for air flow and hand rubbed with oil as a finish. March also is the place to see pantry items, as well as table linens, dishes, glasses and cookware.

These are cool! I love kitchen worktables and one of my dreams is to design and build them. I hadn’t thought of the metal legs, which I probably couldn’t do, anyway, but really like. I would like to see more use of the space under the worktop, and couldn’t store food that low in my house, though… It’d have a ‘protective coating’ of dog hair at this time of year… Yech. LOL.
