We decided to do sillites instead for the reason you mentioned. On the working side of the island I have two over the trash pullout, then I have a few more spaced around (under) the eating overhang areas.

What does your island look like? All 1 level so you want the plugmold at about waist level below counter along work aisle? On ends?

I have a 2 level island with breakfast bar, put plugmold on lower level work area under the overhang from upper counter. Sorry, old picture and not full length, I was trying to show the trim my cousin had made to cover backs of the taller end cabinets. But this is the least-cluttered this countertop has been since!

Of course, I just put in regular big-box store plugmold like I'd had in electronics labs in Navy - this was before I found GW and became TKO!
