Built to work and to last, beautifully

This table is exactly what I was looking for in my kitchen. It is both practical and beautiful. I recently renovated my kitchen and it is one of the most frequently complimented features. My microwave and toaster oven fit (stacked) on the shelf underneath and the worktop is my favorite prep area. I prefer the feel of the wood over hard countertops for most things and enjoy using it daily. The table is very sturdy and the adjustable feet allowed me to get the work surface perfectly level so…

Pros
  • The work surface on this wood top table measures 36 inches long, 24 inches wide and is 1.5 inches thick. Table stands 36 inches tall
Cons
  • The table may not fit in with certain workplace aesthetics

Pre-drilled holes not correct - Nightmare assembly

The table is gorgeous and sturdy. Would have give 5 stars, BUT the pre-drilled holes for the leg gussets are so out of alignment I had to fill the holes and drill new ones. This of course was extra tricky because the table I purchased had the additional shelf. Would have sent back except it weighs 80 lbs and Boxing and returning would have been just a different sort of nightmare.Not sure what advise to give but, just hope the predrilled joles are correct.

Pros
  • The top was easy to assemble and is solid and well made.
Cons
  • The price point is higher than similar products on the market

The quality isn’t what I expected

Bought this for the butcher block as I only wanted a 30x52 butcher block but couldn’t find one and this would have only needed to be cut on one side(2 if I wanted to keep the logo centered) The price seemed descent for the need. My plan was to cut the top to size for my kitchen island. Well, cutting the top exposed the crap wood. There are ridges, missing areas and pockets of air all over. I had to cut off more than I wanted, then bought some maple boards cut them down to 1.5 inch, since I…

Pros
  • A little difficult to put together by yourself.
Cons
  • The table is not very portable and is difficult to move around

They fixed shipping issues. Don’t worry

As other reviews were saying it was packaged poorly I had some concern coming in. It looks like Boos listener because it was packed extremely well and secure and I had no bends, dings, scratches or anything, it’s perfect for my kitchen and it has already been used several times and the only thing I wish is that I had bought it sooner. Boos Blocks are some of the best cutting surfaces out there in my opinion. Great product.

Pros
  • A good sturdy attractive table. I would buy it again. Great product.
Cons
  • The table is heavy and difficult to transport

Good product, horrible packaging.

The good: The wood top itself is very nice the table is very sturdy, even without the shelf (more on that in the bad below). I actually do like the item, but cannot give more than 2 stars to something that arrives with this much damage. I also purchased the Boo's Mystery Oil and applied it right out of the box.The bad: It is puzzling how a company can mail so many of these and have a packaging layout that would allow for the damage I encountered. The shelf was laid over the bottom of the table.

Pros
  • Love it! Sturdy, solid and exactly as advertised
Cons
  • Assembly is time-consuming and complicated

Rock solid work/ food prep table!

I love this table! Beautiful piece of wood, and really sturdy steel legs and shelf. Assembly was pretty easy with just a couple simple tools. I'd recommend using a level when installing the adjustable shelf. I added a set of casters to it for mobility. I can use this indoors or outdoors when preparing bbq or drinks or anything else. A little pricey, but I feel when cared for properly, this will last a lifetime. Worth the money.

Pros
  • NSF approved: John Boos work tables are equally well suited for use in commercial or residential settings.Adjustable ABS Bullet Feet
Cons
  • The surface is not heat-resistant and can be damaged by hot objects

Just what I wanted for my opinion

Using this as a kitchen island in a kitchen that lacks sufficient counter space. It was fairly easy to assemble and came well packed and protected. It is heavy and very sturdy. The wood top is pretty and I have been using a cutting board on it to avoid knife marks on this one. It is just what I needed for the space and the price on ebay was competitive.

Pros
  • The base and undershelf of this work table are made from galvanized steel; undershelf is adjustable to desired height.Welded Construction
Cons
  • The adjustable lower shelf is often not needed and can be a waste of space

Excellent Purchase - my new review

We were looking for a sturdy kitchen island and shopped for weeks before discovering this product. We wanted a solid maple top that was simple and sturdy. We loved the fact that you could choose the size you needed. We purchased the 24"x36". The island came well-packaged and after a bit of pondering the instructions, finally figured out how to put it together. From there it was easy. Be prepared, it is heavy, but that's what makes it so nice. We oiled it with mineral oil every night before bed…

Pros
  • Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Fits my needs perfectly!
Cons
  • The adjustable lower shelf is not user-friendly and difficult to adjust

Great purchase! on my review.

Exactly what I have been needing to extend my counter space in my narrow galley kitchen! Dad and I put together pretty easily, should have read directions not to fully tighten caster bolts before securing the shelf, was a little tricky to move to the height I wanted but got there! My packaging was no issue so obviously those 2016 posts are now null and void. Everything was perfect and the block looks great! Just orders the mystery oil and cream so I can care for it well. Looking forward to…

Pros
  • Great product. The quality is much better than I expected.
Cons
  • The galvanized steel base is not very aesthetically pleasing

Defects, Defects, Defects

Screws are too big, pilot holes don't line up with gussets. Screws do not go in all the way, making the legs and their bases wobbly. This result in an extremely uneven and unstable cutting surface. Packing was less than spectacular as the box was falling apart upon arrival. I must recommend any other product before this. They are other options that I'm sure do not have these blatant manufacturing issues.

Pros
  • This island is perfect. It looks more expensive than it is and gives an open feel to your kitchen.
Cons
  • The wooden surface can be damaged by moisture

Not as good as they used to be.

Item arrived with rusty parts and no screws to assemble. Super disappointed. Boos quality has gone down hill. Or maybe they send their items that don’t pass muster to amazon fulfillment.

Pros
  • The 1.5" thick tabletop ensures durability and long-lasting use
Cons
  • The adjustable lower shelf may not be able to accommodate certain tools or equipment

Arrived used and dirty! Twice!

This is the second table we received that was used and dirty! Highly disappointed. The first table was damaged - shelf bent- and scratched. We exchanged it and the second arrived dirty and already oiled. The oil stained the packaging and the stainless was scratched. We returned both.

Pros
  • The versatile design makes it ideal for use in any room of the home or office
Cons
  • The wooden top may not be suitable for food preparation due to potential contamination from scratches or dents

JUST AWESOME - my new review

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • The wooden top may require frequent maintenance and refinishing

Pros
  • Food Service Equipment & Supplies
Cons
  • The wooden top may shrink or expand in different environmental conditions

Beautiful piece - my new review

It's beautiful, and serves its purpose. I bought a stainless steel piece to go on top of it so my Italian bf can use it for the warmth of the maple wood for his bread doughs or the stainless steel top for pastries and making his noodles for various pastas.My only complaint is one of the leg connectors were improperly drilled and the holes didn't align. It was a quick fix with a drill, but for that kind of money, I feel like the pre drilled holes should've been lined up.

Pros
  • The John Boos brand guarantees quality and long-lasting performance, backed by a reliable warranty
Cons
  • The adjustable lower shelf may not be sturdy enough to support heavier items, leading to instability and potential safety hazards

Quality doesn't match the price.

There is nothing about this table that warrants the price except the fact it's made with solid maple pieces. it's got a nice "Boos" brand on it as well. 🤨

Pros
  • The easy-to-clean surface allows for effortless maintenance and upkeep
Cons
  • The galvanized steel can become slippery when wet, posing a safety hazard

Worst product ever on my review.

I never leave reviews but felt compelled to leave one after receiving this product. It came scratched, none of the pieces fit together. Hurt my back trying to figure this out and no instructions to help. Ridiculous how they even can sell it like this and now I understand why it was on sale. Now I’m stuck returning this heavy object. If you’re thinking of buying it. don’t.

Pros
  • The lightweight yet sturdy construction makes it easy to move and transport.
Cons
  • The table may not be suitable for projects that require precision measurements

Not worth it for the price

With the price for this work table, I thought i can find something even better at a hardware store. The maple top is heavy and hard to assemble, however it has been easily chipped and dented after use. The assemble process truly requires two people and just overall need more work than expected.It was meant to be in the kitchen and the maple wood got some sticky syrup and it was hard to remove and clean off. Now it is stained.

Pros
  • The combination of wood and steel creates a sturdy, industrial aesthetic that never goes out of style
Cons
  • The wooden top may not be suitable for projects that require a smooth surface

Nice Table on my review.

Purchased this and anticipated having to send it back due to all the reviews with damaged product. Was pleasantly surprised when it came in decent packaging marked with fragile stickers.Overall, decent quality table (the underside is a bit rough) for a good price.

Pros
  • The thick and durable maple top withstands heavy use and wear over time.
Cons
  • The table may not be suitable for projects that require a lot of movement or mobility

Great piece but the maple top is already splitting

I love the look and size of this piece, but we have had it less than 2 months and the top is already splitting.I definitely would Not recommend

Pros
  • Beautiful and love Boos Block
Cons
  • The table may not be sturdy enough for heavy-duty work
