Option 1.
Can add power outlets and charge phone/laptop or kitchen appliance.

Also, can role play with your wife as a drunk bugger asking for special service from bartender. Then can fark on the bar.

you can have option 1 & 2.

Ask your ID. nothing is impossible.

Very cool design software, trying it out now. Thanks TS

My house also option 1... But i thought will buy the chair later but end up never buy

I don't think it's feasible when your house have small kids

Even with option 2, I would carefully plan the placement of the table so that I could fix power outlet and pendant light for better ambiance.

As for you second point, something new to consider

I am my own ID. No money to hire proper ID. Need to rely from my reading, pintrest & forum to properly plan the space.

And not enough space for both, otherwise I would go for an Island.

Free web base software from google. I think it's very commonly used for self ID planning.

Then what do you do with the space? Solely as prep space?

My kids are 5 & 8 respectively and baby factory stopped production already. Still consider small kids?

backrest itu penting

if u diy urself, let say from ikea modular kitchen,
i think under 2k is enough, but of course if hire pipul
sure mark up one, but usually they will use compress
wood/particle board, ayam dont like, better plywood
than compress wood, or mdf.

5k is for plywood + nyatoh kitchen cabinet.

Ikea kitchen is particleboard and too tall for me and my wife.

DIY from scratch isn't really an option

Stool in photo is just a placeholder. Not exactly the type of stool I planned to buy.

I think it's too tall for them...

Besides if there is no fan, it will be quite hot

option 1 is fit, looking like a bar, but use alot space..
option 2 is better can moveable, add more chair or space can re arrange.

Option 1 has very limited manoeuvrability. Eating at high table is not comfortable. Normally bar counter is for breakfast or fast meal. You only do it when your kitchen or dining has the extra space for it.

Where else, Option 2 is having great opportunity to have 4 to 6 seaters. It is also replaceable once you get boring with the table style.

Trust me, I’m a designer in a well known property developer.

I also think it a tad too tall for them. Which is why I need to buy stool with backrest if I were to go for option 1.

Option 1 use a lot of space, but at the same time provide a lot of storage space & worktop space.

Option 2 is upgradable. I would say it's movable in my case since I will fix power outlet & pendant light.

u dont need much storage space. if 2-3 year later u need to relocate the space..how?? kasi pecah?
option 1 look good but not practical. if u go for option 1, u can add bottle wine hanger on top with some florist deco. but still no good in maintenance wise.

bear in mind that option 1 duduk makan kaki tak selesa.

Yes. I have extra space in my kitchen. Hence why I am thinking of filling up the space with either breakfast counter or small dining table.

There is only 4 1/2 ft space from the end of counter to another cabinet. So, if I opt for dining table, I wouldn't be able to upgrade to 6 seater anyway.

And I already have a proper dining area. This area is only for simple meal dining

Actually 1 of the reason I am leaning towards option 1 is that I do need lots of storage space. I got too many dinnerware sets, cookware set, pyrex, tupperware & etc that I need to store, not to mentioned I don't have pantry so I need to put everything in the cabinet. I'm afraid I will lose that space if I go for option 1.

The bolded part is something I need to consider. Thank you for highlighting that. I guess I have to test the options I have before I decide

Thanks /ktards for the input.

Dear mod empire23, could you please move my thread to Home Renovations & ID subsection so that I can hear more opinions from forumer there. Thanks.

Sudah pakai, sepah di buang
Sudah settle in /k, move out topic pulak
Kacang lupakan kulit

I think whoever interested already chipped in their opinion. Time to look for more. Thanks for yours too..
