Bar stools up at standard worktop.

[Southmouth]

I would love to make a breakfast area in my kitchen with some bar stools, mainly for the kids to sit at. But could you sit up a standard worktop with them or would it be awkward with lack of leg space from not having the extra over hang of a breakfast worktop?

You could sit up to chat to someone - but not to eat/work etc.

Could you add some sort of overlay to the countertop? Wood?

@Mosaic123 our worktops are a walnut effect but not real wood, would this look odd? I’m kicking myself as we haven’t long had the worktops put in and we actually cut them to that size so there wasn’t any over hang not actually thinking that that would make a perfect breakfast area!

I guess it might look odd. Would a thick slab of glass, plus a supporting leg if necessary, work? I'm thinking it would go across the worktop from the wall to however much you wanted it to overhang by and you could see the worktop through it. It might look rather chic!
