Making a kitchen island or storage shelf is so easy! This will come in handy if you don’t have much counter space, don’t have a linen closet, need some extra shelves somewhere, etc.
To start you’ll need 3 Parson’s End Tables and I purchased mine at Walmart. They are usually $10 each, but I ordered them online for in store pick up and I got a discount!
For the Kitchen Island – I put 2 of the tables together. It was really easy – just screw in the legs.
For the third table, I drilled the holes just a little bigger so I could fit rolling wheels in them.
I had these wheels on hand, but they sell them at Dollar Tree. If you don’t want to put wheels on it, or you are intimidated by power tools, you could attach floor sliders onto the bottom instead.
Use some E6000 or glue of your choice and put on the bottom of the legs on 2 of your tables.
Stack your tables on top of the table top with wheels.
Add dishes, cookbooks, whatever you want to use the added space for. On top use it as a cutting board or service tray.
It’s great if you don’t have a lot of counter space.
Okay onto the storage shelf option…
For this you’ll put together all 3 tables, add the E6000 to the bottom of 2 of the tables legs, and stack them on top of each other.
Add storage baskets to the shelves…
Use it as a decorative shelf to hold plants, books, decor, and I added a basket underneath to hold blankets.
Use it in your bathroom to hold towels, toilet paper, tissue, wash clothes, decor, and underneath I added a trashcan.

What a great idea! My kitchen isn’t very large but when we had it remodeled many years ago they used every inch so I have no extra wall for something like this. But I do have a half wall that isn’t long that has our entry hall behind it. I might be able to carve out a corner there. 🙂 From reading the box, it looks like it’s a little over 4 ft. high. Is that about right? I’ll need it to be no higher than the 1/2 wall but I haven’t measured that yet so there might be room without trying to cut the legs.
Thanks Linda 🙂 I would say it’s about 39″ high with the wheels on. Without the wheels it is about the same height as a typical kitchen counter 🙂
Okay, so that would work. The half wall is higher than the kitchen counter by quite a bit. It’s definitely something to think about. We do have a pantry in our back hall and shelves for large things that we rarely use (like my electric roaster and 30 cup coffee pot) in the basement. Thanks for doing that. 🙂
This looks very easy and handy.
Thank you Donna

Thank you Katelynn 🙂
Such a versatile idea, you can literally use something like this in every room in the house. Ikea sell suitable little tables very cheaply too so not an expensive idea at all. Brilliant.
Thank you Julie 🙂
