Hey guys, I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for me. I need something that serves the purpose of a kitchen island, but I have almost no space in my kitchen and only a little money to spend. I'm looking at rolling carts, because part of what I need is the ability to put my crockpot on it and roll it over to the outlet. But I also need something sturdy enough to use as a counter for things like baking cookies. Any suggestions on ways to cheaply jury-rig something from things I can easily get (on foot) at local stores would be very helpful.

And by the way, I do realize this is a tall order and I'm not holding my breath on this. If nothing comes my way, it will be no greatly terrible thing.

Thanks Piplover, I especially like the look of the granite top cart. I'll have to see if they sell it anywhere locally - I am trying not to get things shipped to this address as I have no confidence that things left on the porch will still be there when I get home.

You can buy a rolling plant stand in the garden area for about $10, so if you find a small nightstand or bookshelf, you could attach that to the bottom pretty easily.

What a great idea, thanks!
