FAQs
Does the unit come fully assembled?
No, the Matteo Kitchen Island arrives flat-packed and requires assembly.
Can I remove the wheels?
While the wheels are essential for the unit's design, they can be removed; however, this is not recommended as it may affect the height and stability.
How much weight can the drop-leaf hold?
The drop-leaf is designed for standard meal preparation; however, we advise against placing extremely heavy appliances directly on the extended portion.
Is the finish resistant to heat?
The surface is durable, but we recommend using trivets or cutting boards for hot pots and pans to preserve the integrity of the finish.
Are the internal door shelves adjustable?
The internal door shelves are designed for fixed items; please refer to the manual for specific weight distribution limits.
What is the primary material?
The unit is constructed from high-quality engineered wood designed to be sturdy and easy to clean.
Troubleshooting
Unit feels unstable or wobbly
Check that the floor is level and ensure the lockable casters are properly engaged and set to the 'on' position.
Drawers or pull-outs are sticking
Verify that the drawer runners are aligned correctly and that there is no debris blocking the tracks.
Drop-leaf mechanism feels stiff
Inspect the hinges for any obstructions and apply a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly requires a standard screwdriver and ideally a second pair of hands to align the cabinet components correctly. Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface before locking the casters to maintain stability. To care for your Matteo Kitchen Island, wipe spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth to protect the finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface coating. Periodically check that the screws for the drawer runners and wheel mounts are tight, especially if the unit is moved across the floor frequently. Keep the towel holders free of heavy items to prevent warping of the side panels.
