So, I used to design kitchens for a living, right? In doing this, we work with a lot of kitchen islands and peninsulas that people will eventually sit at. This has caused a situation that I can no longer ignore.
When figuring a countertop overhang for people to sit at, we generally like to have 12" of legroom. However, space constraints sometimes require that we shrink that space a bit.
So I'll tell my customers, mostly women, that while 12" is ideal, we can do 10" or even 8". That's when it happens.
"Show me what 10 inches looks like"
Sigh.
One of these days...
