These instructions apply to assembly of either  
1/2 or full island kits.  Each 1/2 island has two  
facing sides.  A full island will have two (2) 1/2  
islands connected to make a four facing sided  
island.  
Island units can have many designs, including  

configurations for shelves, added doors,  

drawers and baskets. The basic components’ kit  

consists of the smooth-finished side panels,  

divider, shelves, and toe-kicks.  Heavy-duty  

countertop is sold separately and is available 

in either a 1/2 island size of a full island size.

In addition, you must supply the  

custom design components: adjustable 

shelves, doors, drawers and baskets   

to meet the customer’s needs.  
LOCATION: As shown in Fig. 1,  

the basic island, Full (2—25-1/2”  

sections wide) or Half (1—25-1/2”   

section wide) must be positioned  

in the closet or pantry with a   

minimum of 24” walking space   

on all sides. More is better!  

Islands with drawers or baskets  

require 30” or more of space  

between the island and hanging to 

accommodate the pull-out   

distance of the drawers or baskets. 

Use the dimensions at right as a  

minimum guide.
