We have not had issues with the island on our 310GK... I don't remember if Brian @bertschb has or not. I may have posted a link or reference to information about it.

We had a problem with our island just after we bought it. Dealer (with GD's OK) reinforced it so that it did not lean when we leaned on it. Covered under warranty. I'm sure they had to get to it from under the 5er.

The island in the 310GK has drawers on the right side then the sink and on the left an open cabinet where a dishwasher can be installed. Unlike a kitchen cabinet where the cabinet frame sits in the floor the island cabinet rests on a rectangular frame attached to the floor. It is supported by 2 screws at each end and the 1/4 inch plywood sides of the sink cabinet. The plywood is attached to the cabinet frame with 5/8 inch 16 gauge staples. If the screws on the left side are not installed properly or give way the staples in the plywood can fail to hold. There is more support at the right end and it is a shorter distance from the support. The easiest solution in my view is to remove the door at the left side (4 screws), then remove the floor of the cabinet (4 screws) and install a 1x3 to the end of island on the inside that rests on the frame. Use 1 !/4 inch screws or staples. DO NOT HAMMER.
I hope the photo inserted.

Update on the 345GK. I decided to be proactive on the kitchen island & started with your suggestion of a 1” X 3” board. I was able to use 2” pocket screws to attach the board inside the base of the cabinet to the base of the island. It was surprisingly easy to access the area just as you described. In that area under the floor of the cabinet I found the factory prep water line & electrical receptacle for the dishwasher. There is also a furnace heating duct & the central vacuum toe kick. Next I went to the right side & removed all the drawers. I was able to reinforce that side as well by adding a 1” X1” board under the lowest drawer slides. The other thing I found was that the box at the back of the cabinet that supports the rear portions of the drawer slides was never attached to the floor of the cabinet. The single screw that was used was too short to reach the base of the cabinet & the box did not rest on the floor as there was a 1/4” space between the bottom of the frame & the floor. I put in a piece of 1/4” luan to fill in the space I feel much more confident now that the island will stay in place. I want to thank all of you for your posts on this subject. The posts were very helpful.
