What you need to know about Quick Assembly Outdoor Kitchens
Quick Assembly Outdoor Kitchens, also known as Ready-To-Assemble BBQ Islands, are designed for — yes you guessed it — speed of assembly. While these kitchens ship in pieces (still shipping on freight pallets), most Ready to Assemble designs can be built with two individuals in around two hours. In most cases, a power drill and leveler is all you need.

Benefits of Quick Assembly Outdoor Kitchens
Package Pricing: Like Pre-assembled (Prefab) BBQ Islands, many Quick Assembly Islands are sold as package pricing, so you don't have to mess around with researching grills, power burners and storage option sizing to make sure everything is going to fit.
Budget Friendly: While Quick Assembly Outdoor Kitchen islands are generally more expensive than pre-assembled islands, they generally cost 25 to 40% less than custom built outdoor kitchens with a local contractor.
Convenience: Quick Assembly BBQ Islands are ideal if you have a backyard that may not be suitable for large deliveries. Two individuals can safely transport these materials by hand and set up these islands in a few hours.
Customizable (sort of): Like pre-assembled BBQ Islands, many Ready-to-assemble outdoor kitchens can be customized with your choice of countertops and base materials. Several manufacturers offer true customizations outside of their traditional designs, but there's usually design costs associated with custom designs.

Cons of Quick Assembly BBQ Islands
Design limitations: Like pre-assembled outdoor kitchens, if you have a unique space or have a very specific vision for your outdoor kitchen, quick assembly may not be your best option. Most of their items are pre-designed, however some manufacturers do offer custom design services. *
Assembly: If you aren't handy, or simply don't have time to construct your quick assembly outdoor kitchen, this may not be the path for you. While these kitchens can be constructed in a couple of hours, we know plenty of folks who just aren't interested (or can't) mess with building these islands.
Grill Preferences: Most of these Quick Assembly Outdoor Kitchen manufacturers have exclusive relationships with only one grill brand. If you fall in love with a particular design (or unique material), you're generally forced into their preferred grilling brand.
