South Shore Olio Contemporary Kitchen Island Black
Overview
The South Shore Olio Contemporary Kitchen Island in Black is a freestanding prep and storage solution built for kitchens that need more organized, out-of-the-way space. It provides four differently sized drawers—including an extra-deep bottom drawer reinforced for pots and pans—and a side cabinet with a removable shelf sized to tuck away mixers, slow cookers, or recipe binders. Each drawer uses full-extension metal runners and soft-close hardware for smooth, full access and quieter use. The island’s sleek black finish and compact footprint make it suitable for apartments, rental kitchens, or any home where you want additional counter space and hidden storage without a permanent renovation. Assembly is required, and the design is focused on maximizing usable storage in a contemporary aesthetic.
Key Features

- Full-extension metal runners on all drawers for easy access to contents
- Soft-close drawer slides to prevent slamming and reduce wear
- Side cabinet with a removable shelf to adapt storage for small appliances or taller items
- Durable black finish with a flat prep surface that functions as an extra work area or staging zone

Cons
