Kitchen Islands & Trolleys

(108 products)

A kitchen island or trolley adds bench space, storage and somewhere to perch with a coffee. Choose fixed islands with cupboards and overhangs for stools, or rolling trolleys that move to wherever you need prep space. Leave about a metre of clearance on each side so drawers and doors open easily, and lock the castors when working. Add seating from bar stools, more storage from pantry cupboards, or browse kitchenware.

How to choose a kitchen island or trolley

Trolley or island

Most of this range is rolling kitchen trolleys, from slim carts that fit beside the fridge to wider units around 90 cm with drawers and cupboards. A trolley gives extra prep space and storage where you need it, then rolls away. A larger island style unit suits an open kitchen where it can stay put as a work and serving area.

Size and clearance

Measure the floor area and allow room to walk around it with doors and drawers open. Check the bench height against your existing benchtop if you want a level work surface. A 60 cm trolley fits small kitchens, while 90 cm models give more bench space.

Storage and wheels

  • Drawers and cupboards: for utensils, tea towels and pantry overflow.
  • Open shelves: handy for baskets, bowls and appliances.
  • Castors: look for lockable wheels so the trolley stays still while you chop.

Materials and finish

Bodies are mostly engineered wood or steel, in white or wood tone finishes. Engineered wood tops are fine for prep with a chopping board, but wipe spills promptly. A steel frame trolley suits a busier, more industrial look.

Seating and price

The range also has some counter stools that suit an island, including swivel and height adjustable velvet styles. Measure from the floor to the underside of the bench before choosing stools. Prices start from about $30 for small carts, with most around $120. Artiss is the main brand. Browse more seats in swivel bar stools, or see kitchen cabinets for fixed storage.

Kitchen Islands & Trolleys: common questions

What size kitchen trolley do I need?

Measure the gap or floor area where it will sit and leave room to walk around it. A narrow 60 cm trolley suits small kitchens and tight spots, while a 90 cm trolley gives a bigger work surface and more storage. Check the height too, if you want it level with your benchtop.

Do kitchen trolleys have lockable wheels?

Many do, so the trolley stays put while you prep and rolls away when you are done. Check the product page for whether the castors lock. Lock them before chopping or placing heavy appliances on top.

Does a kitchen island need assembly?

Yes, most trolleys and islands arrive flat packed. Smaller carts are a quick job, while larger units with drawers and doors take longer. Some products are listed as easy assembly. Check the product page for what is included and the tools you need.

Is the top of a kitchen trolley waterproof?

Most tops here are engineered wood or steel. They handle everyday use, but wipe up water and spills quickly, especially on engineered wood edges. Use a chopping board rather than cutting on the top, and a trivet for hot pans.

How much storage does a kitchen trolley have?

It depends on the model. Smaller trolleys have a drawer and a shelf or two, while larger units combine drawers, cupboards and open shelves. The product page lists the internal dimensions, so you can check it fits things like mixing bowls or small appliances.

What height bar stools suit a kitchen island?

Measure from the floor to the underside of the benchtop and pick stools with about 25 to 30 cm of space between seat and bench. Height adjustable stools make it easier to get right. Browse bar stools for more options.
