Sliding kitchen board for appliances

Very innovative. It looks real functional.

Nicely done! Those casters look like they would mark up the counter, but I guess that they do not. Is the counter formica?

Interesting I wonder how well it works having a mixer on wheels? Could be great.

On my counter, yes they would. Formica and stainless don’t mix. It makes wierd slug-like streaks wherever it goes. It cleans off, but I’m not sure what the reaction between the two is. My client’s won’t. They have granite.

Interesting solution – I have visions of the lady turning her back on the mixer and finding it on the floor. Does the board have breaks? LOL.

Her mixer must be very well balanced because it doesn’ move much at all. I had thought this would be a problem, but it wasn’t in this particular case. I told her if it did that I would install something to stop any movement, but she says it works great.

I was wondering about sliding on the cupboard, but you answered that with their granite top. Really a good idea.
