In this DIY project, Marvin shows that it doesn't have to be difficult to make a kitchen island yourself. By using ready-made kitchen cabinets and having a kitchen worktop cut to size from moisture-resistant material, all he had to do was attach and finish it himself. He chose MDF Moistureproof V313 Black to make sure it was suitable for the kitchen. Read more about Marvin's project below!

Description of Marvin

To create some extra workspace in our kitchen, we installed 2 cabinets with oven. We got the cabinets from the Swedish shop.For the kitchen worktop, we engaged TOSIZE.ie. We had several options via customer service (Laura) but finally chose MDF Moistureproof V313 Black 18 mm after being advised and had it made to measure. Then finished with black lacquer. This was a 2-in-1 varnish. Extremely happy with it, and the measurements were perfect.

How I made this project

Kitchen cabinets at Swedish Giant, then surface measured out, helped by Laura very competently after which we ordered, then we chose to lacquer the shelf. We ended up having to do this 3 times. We let the shelf dry 3 times for 8 hours before painting again. According to the paint shop, there was no need to pre-treat at most just a little sanding. But the board was delivered so well that we did not feel this was necessary and painted right away.
