When we moved in, there was this kitchen island that both looked bad and made the kitchen into a series of aisles. So, we moved it outside with the intention of getting rid of it.
We never got rid of it. But I did read about how these are easy to convert into workbenches because of their height and overhang.
So, we brought it downstairs — without hurting ourselves. Well, I dropped a drawer on my toe later, but it was still pretty smooth.
