Hanging Out on an Island. 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.
The overhang is 18 inches, the bar behind is 18 inches. The back counter is 12 and the sink area is 24 (I think without running back down to measure again, as I forgot). That leaves us 34 inches between the back and front and 6 feet long from opening to sink. It is plenty of space for one or two people behind it.
