Rolling Outdoor Kitchen Island vs HomeMindful 104-Inch Outdoor Kitchen Island

These are not really rivals: the LEV island is a rolling prep cart, the HomeMindful is a fixed outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill. Buy the LEV if you already own a grill and want a movable stainless prep surface with storage. Buy the HomeMindful if you are building a permanent cooking and entertaining station and want the grill, sink and cooler in one unit. The LEV is light and easy to move but its 201 steel and fir wood need care outdoors; the HomeMindful uses 304 stainless and granite, weighs 527 lb and needs a natural gas line and assembly.

• Choose the LEV Furniture island if you already have a grill and want a movable stainless prep and serving cart that stores tools and rolls back under cover.
• Choose the HomeMindful 104-inch island if you want a permanent outdoor kitchen with the grill, sink, fridge and countertop built into one unit.
