I am not sure of the easiest way to check the tile, but my first try would be to carefully remove the molding at the base of the island and inspect the tile, you should be able to see if it goes up to the cabinet or under the cabinet. Home warranty will be able to tell you the tile and installer, and they can tell you if the tile can be matched, and my be able to tell you the typical installation for islands.

Thanks for the reply. We want to move it soon because I am putting in a new floor and i need it relocated before the flooring guys come. It is over 50 inches away from my sink and dishwasher! TOO MUCH!! My home is 20 years old (I am in Glenbrook) so i don't know who built it or anything. We took off the front piece but it still does't let me see how it is connected to the floor. Hubby can do any sort of electrical work. I just need to figure out how to get it disconnected from whatever is holding it securely to the floor.
By the way we are from upstate PA... right outside of Scranton. Just relocated here in October!
