We needed more counter and storage space in our rental house kitchen. We used this kitchen island plan to build a "kitchen peninsula." When it came time to stain the shelves it would have been a lot easier to stain the pieces before we put it together. The tiny space between the slats was difficult to get a paint brush in.
