Surely you'd just end up using one most of the time? And you'd always be walking around one to get to the other? Or is it more kinda a way to replace a dining table rather than extend the usefulness of the kitchen? Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65085 Re: Double Island? 5Oct 06, 2013 10:55 pm I haven't seen them like this but I've seen ones where the island is more of an L shape, often with one part dropped a bit lower than the other so that the lower bit is used for eating/homework etc. Personally I think it looks funny like in your photo but looks fine as an L shape. Is an L a possibility? Re: Double Island? 6Oct 29, 2013 11:57 pm Looks more like a modern version of the central butchers block... the middle one is for prep and the other island for seating/socialising/serving. This looks like a waste of space to me. It's currently popular to join them together.
