We typically try to allow at least a 12" overhang with 24" of width for each stool.

Overhang on Islands and Peninsula's can be as much as 16", it depends on how much clearance you have.

This looks like the overhang is about 9" at the ends and bows out to 12+ in the center. Where possible, 24" is the width allowance per stool.

Could you please mention the size of the Island, I am working in my kitchen project right now and the size is my problem. I will appreciate it a lot!
