The three parts of the Federal Reserve System are the Reserve Banks, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), and the: ABoard of Governors BUnited States Mint CDepartment of the Treasury DSecretary of State.
The standard overhang of an island countertop -- on the side designed to sit at and tuck stools underneath -- is 12 inches. If you plan to extend the counter farther, you need to add supports such as legs, or wood corbels or metal L-brackets that extend half the overhangâs distance.
We have friends w/a 12 counter-height overhang and I find it uncomfortable to sit at for any length of time. I have to sit sideways or straddle the peninsula or sit far from the counter edge. None of those is comfortable. My DH won't sit at it at all b/c he finds it much too uncomfortable.
