The other thing to consider is that an overhang over 300mm will need extra support or you will have no warranty! At 400mm you would need support at either end and in the middle. The end support could be in the form of waterfalls but the middle support is normally ugly! I've never actually measured the ones that I have seen which were uncomfortable, so perhaps if you say 300mm is more than enough, perhaps these other ones were just 200mm or 250mm. I can see that a middle support would look ugly, but what if the back of the cupboards were 400mm in, and there was a 40mm timber supporting frame that only left a 250mm unsupported benchtop ? I realise that it would make the underside of the bench with 40mm less clearance above the seated leg, but would give you that 400mm to get you closer to the bench without knocking your knees on the back of he cupboards. As I said in my earlier post, surely I am not the only one who has this issue, and there must be many others who tend not to use the 'breakfast bar' anymore as it just isn't comfortable to sit at. Therefore if everyone just stands there instead of sitting, then why bother with an overhang, as the stools are still going to stick out from it. Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld.

Re: Island Bench Length/Depth 17Jan 07, 2014 3:07 pm We had a 300mm overhang in our last house and found it uncomfortable, thus the upgrade. Ours has no visible supports, so doesn't suffer from any of the visual concerns you have listed - it is simply a longer overhang than standard.
