Island design

12 years ago

I really like this island and want to do something similar. How deep are the main cabinets and how much room is there for seating in the recessed area? (leg room)
Thank you!!

Karen, The overall island size is 105" x 54" including the counter overhang. The cabinets along the front of this island span 102" and are 24" deep. The cook top cabinet is actually 27" deep due to the downdraft ventilation. I then have 27" book case cabinets on either side, and 13" deep cabinets under the leg space. The total leg space is 76" wide by 12" deep.

Thank you for your detailed answer! I'm planning a similar design so I'll share it with my cabinet maker. Really nice!
