Wood island top

8 years ago

Really like the wood top to the island on the right side of this page. Can you say more about the type of wood, seal and the source? Thanks!

To have an island or not to have an island?

I agree with many of the comments on here in that if they really work in the space you have then why not? However they don't work for every space and other ideas can make the kitchen easier to work within and still have an impact. In our kitchen a peninsular worked best. It is 90 cm wide so I have kitchen units one side and on the dining side I have a long shelf for all my cookery books, drawers underneath that, and a cabinet for our water softener. There is an overhang at one end with stools for 2 people. I could have fitted an island in, but it would have ended up much smaller and less useful than the peninsular, with less storage.

450 sounds good - but just make sure there's enough support under - may need brackets on side of cabinets. 300mm is usually the 'over run' type size rather than 450 . Walnut sounds fab. Try to tone in to your flooring if you can maybe ?!?! Oak is also good for wear and tear. Yacht stuff looks good if not the shiny version - seen some recently and had a high sheen - made the wood look faux !

If you go for a quartz or other solid surface, then any fabricator should be able to do a table for you. You need to face the back with something, we used mdf when we did it, and attach legs of your choice. In laminate you would need to buy a breakfast bar type top and use edging strips on the ends, so would have width limitations.

You need to ensure you have sufficient seating space so that’s for arm movement and also knee movement. The units need to be strong enough for the quartz to be resting on them.
