Is that a two-level island with a work surface on the other side? How does the current layout work for you, or not? What are you hoping to create or problem to solve with the joined table?

Can you post a measured plan of what you are considering?

It doesn't look like you have room for an island.

Do you need a kitchen table ? IMO surface next to an island that is lower is not very good for a work surface so unless you hate the stools for eating at counter height I would not do this. I agree a to scale floor plan could help us help you waht I see right now is an island that is the eatin section of the kitchen not really an island more like a bar table. I think you need to do a plan .

@rebasheba we are replacing our entire island. I definitely want a table height space for dinner time and also an island for workspace. The current island does not allow room for a kitchen table which does not work for us bc I do want a normal table height space (especially for small children) . I’m debating between A. Having a smaller island and allowing space for a traditional round dinner table or B. Having an Island which will include the attached table making it one long space. I’m waiting for the measured plan from contractor and I will post. Thanks for the questions and consideration!

@patricia

I don’t mind the stools for a quick bite or something informal but I prefer sit down dinners at a kitchen table. Also, I have an 8month old who I would prefer to put on a lower space for meal times. U are correct though, we have a Eatin bar table. I also hate the shape of it. I’m waiting on the drawings from the contractor. I will post once I get them. Thank you!

I had a very similar set up and LOVED it! I am very short, so the lower surface was a nice change of pace for chopping, etc.
