Is the low extension off island useful as a bench?

6 years ago

Perhaps it's the camera lens, but it looks quite deep to sit on. Or is it for storage? I can't see any access. It's beautiful and creative, and I love it! I could actually do it in my kitchen!
Thanks, Anne Trytten, Colorado

Hi Anne,

We added this lower area to the island as a great place to sit with views of the lake. It also doubles as a dining area with "tv" trays pulled up for the littles in this family.
