One thing with a 10" overhang is that you're not saving aisle space because stool legs splay wider than the seats for stability. Your real usable aisle space is from the stool feet over, regardless of whether they're covered by counter or not. On the plus side, maybe you might as well create an overhang generous enough to tuck them all the way under? It'd not only be more comfortable but look a lot better and be safer. Of course, it also means you need to choose and measure stools before making your decision. These tradeoffs are all very personal decisions, but, knowing how much even shallow storage holds, mine would be to look to the cabinets for the extra inches needed to make this work. I purchased ready-made Ikea 12" drawers for the top row of a line of 12" deep bottoms, with shelves below, so I would imagine drawer and sliding shelf mechanisms are available in a number of depths. If needed, I'd also plan storage for the Christmas dishes and the 3-element slow cooker used maybe twice a year, or whatever as needed, somewhere else in the house.

I wanted to send current pictures of area. One picture shows additional bubbling that I did not see without the camera. The other shows where finish peeled off. It does not look as bad in person as it does in photo. Please excuse the spelling typo in heading _ should have been peeling :). I appreciate any help you might provide.

Thanks everyone, I just received a price of $33,500. Lower than expected! Attached is a picture. The highlighted parts are where there will be all lower cabinets and there will only be 4 upper cabinets, 2 on either side of the range top and two on either side of where the prep sink is. This drawing is a bit confusing because it shows the existing kitchen which will now be a dinette area. I am putting an addition off the side of my house. Thanks!!

Hi Kristin & Alex, Typically Forevermark will give you back ordered dates when you recieve your quote. It's unfortunate your dealer did not relay these delays to you before ordering. For an RTA cabinet, Forevermark is very good quality and span the gap with applications for a contractor flip to a semi-custom kitchen remodel, depending on the experience of your designer. I've worked with Forevermark for over a decade. With those thousands of orders there have been some defects and damaged parts needing replaced but their warranty claim process is easy and painless and we usually get replacements within a week. Please let me know if you have any specific questions - I'll be happy to help.
