Product Information
Full details
The Matteo Dropleaf Kitchen Island is designed for home cooks who need to maximize workspace in smaller or multi-functional kitchens without sacrificing storage capacity. Its primary benefit is the versatile, expandable work surface and superior mobility, making it an ideal prep station that doubles as a serving cart; however, users should note that its substantial size requires adequate floor clearance when fully expanded to 120 x 65 cm.

Troubleshooting
Tabletop feels unstable when extended
Ensure the support brackets for the dropleaf are fully locked into place and the unit is on a level surface.
Drawers are sticking or not closing flush
Check that the drawer slides are free of debris and properly aligned with the cabinet track.
Island moves even when wheels are locked
Ensure the wheel locks are pressed down completely and the unit is on a dry floor to prevent slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the Matteo island is straightforward when following the provided step-by-step guide and utilizing the numbered parts. Ensure you have a clear floor area and a screwdriver on hand before beginning. For long-term care, wipe the 18 mm tabletop with a damp cloth after use to prevent moisture buildup or food stains. Use mild soap for cleaning the painted surfaces, avoiding harsh abrasive scrubbers. Periodically check the locking mechanisms on the wheels to ensure they remain functional and tighten any hardware if you notice movement over time. The unit is best suited for indoor kitchen environments and should be kept away from direct heat sources to preserve the finish.
