Islands and peninsulas have their unique design issues from supporting the overhang to adding electrical outlets with style.
Q2.) What design solutions do you like for kitchen islands or peninsulas with seating?
Q3.) What walkway clearance dimensions do you insist on around islands? What do you do when you have clients who ask for this feature but actually do not have adequate space?
