sufficient size for island eating area
I have an island that has 2 levels - a "working area" at 36" and eating
area at 42". Here is a picture of the island. The eating area is built around the two cabinets which make up the lower level working area. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...92434605Bdfill Question: Is a higher level working area width of 17" going to be enough for eating in comfort? I get 17" with a 12" overhand and a 5" wall (again, see picture) |

The eating area is built around the two cabinets which make up the lower level working area. One idea you may wish to consider is that the design does not have any sort of stop to keep things on the eating surface from sliding on to the working area. I would consider a short wall topped with a shelf, and the shelf on top to have a small lip for the same reason. -- Roger Shoaf About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then they come up with this striped stuff. |
