Love the use of space - what are dimensions?

12 years ago

We are building a home - it will have a space of about 4' wide by 8' long in the corner of the kitchen. We are thinking of putting an eating area there. What are the dimensions of the benches and table?
Thanks!

You'll need about 1'-9" depth for the benches, although you could go a little less. If the table were 5' long you should be able to fit this into an 8' long space. For depth, if the table is, say 3.5' wide you'd need another 1.5' on top of that, so about 5' for depth. See attached image from this project..
