My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Why did you insist on making the table with no support?

13 years ago
The table is functionally great but the design is not beautiful. It could have been nicer.

    Supports would revert it to a regular table. What's so great about that? Kudos to forward thinking designer who sees the potential. Suits the total kitchen and it is inspired. Is it a steel J inside the island for the cantilevered wieght? Love, love.

      I have to say, that while this may not be everyone's style, I personally love it!

      It is a great use of space and I love it.

      It will be more beautiful with supports
    • 13 years ago
      The lack of supports keeps the kitchen open and uncluttered, the floors expansive and spacious, and gives it an understated elegance. I love it but would worry that it might be too fragile

      But it looks like a tower crane.

      I think it looks amazing and from a construction point of view, genius if its as ridged as any table with legs

      The block of solid granite is more than heavy enough to keep the table stable. I believe Santa could sit on the edge of the table without a problem. I also vote that the design is fantastic looking.

      I think the table design is brilliant, looks like it is floating - all the elements in this kitchen suggest floating, I think...I LOVE it!

      I'm pretty sure that this table consist of some very good aluminum or steel support horizontally. I like the spacious look in a nicely designed kitchen.

      Finally, a knee saving design. I'm all for that. It looks like a pretty good design for anyone in a wheelchair, too. Clever and creative. I like it

      I like it too. It may be walnut as well.

      Always have to be haters! Are you mad because you didn't think of this beautiful design?

      I love the floating table, makes a great feature. By the sounds of things, not everyone is ready for the contemporary look!
