Most UK islands sit at around 90 to 92 centimetres, which calls for a counter height bench with a seat of roughly 60 to 66 centimetres, a worktop overhang deep enough for knees and enough clearance behind for people to move freely. In this guide we explain how to measure worktop height, overhang depth and bench length, and how to plan clearance in a busy kitchen. We compare island benches with stools, outline the features that make a real difference to comfort, such as footrest rails, padded seats and stable frames, and look at styles that suit Shaker, handleless and industrial kitchens. We also cover the choice between built in banquettes and freestanding benches, and how to combine a bench with stools for a flexible, coordinated island seating layout."}
