Help! DIY Kitchen Island from Ikea
We’re renovating our kitchen and stuck on size of island. Options are 72” (2 X 18” cabinets and a 36” on side and 2 X 36 on the other side) or 90” (36”, 18”, and 36” on both sides)
Kitchen island too small? Need advice…
Island dilemma
"How big is a kitchen island?"
Countryside’s wide selection of kitchen islands vary in sizes large and small. You can find dimensions on our product pages before ordering. Several models include drop leaves that expand to create an even larger surface area. In general, a kitchen island should be sized appropriately so people can move and work around it.

I’m looking to build a simple kitchen island using materials from IKEA.
Here’s what I‘m thinking so far-
Countertop: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ekbacken-countertop-for-kitchen-island-light-gray-concrete-effect-laminate-50499110/
Cabinet Base (1 on each end of the countertop): https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/sektion-base-cabinet-with-shelves-white-haeggeby-white-s59364828/
Legs: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/sektion-leg-10265518/
Plinth: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/foerbaettra-toekick-matt-white-90417754/
I’m aware that the backside of the cabinet base is unfinished- I’m totally okay with painting that side.
Does something like this sound doable? Am I oversimplifying this procedure? Any tips or guidance would be much appreciated!!
