This is one of my favorite projects that I've had the privilege to work on. The island has a feature I had yet to use before or since. The client enjoys to entertain so they frequently need seating for 8-9 people in the kitchen. As you can see, the raised portion of the island seats 6 but there is secret seating were the shelving is located. The shelves are removable for parties to allow for an extra 3 seats when needed.
