would this table work well to put against an island in the kitchen and use for kids to sit at for meals? if so, how many could fit on 1 side?

Practically you could seat 4 kids or 3 adults on one side of this table. Ken

4 or 5 kids depending on the chair width. And the table is a standard height (29") but may be a little too high, depending on the chair height.

Definitely! However, it's not wide enough for two large placemats on both seating sides without them overlapping a bit. Still, plenty of space for dining for two. Think two large plates, wine bottle, two glasses, salad bowl etc. Much more space than a bistro table.

This table is intended for small children. It will hold 4 average children under 5 with no problem. I have seen my 140 lb daughter sit on one side with her legs out, not under the table, to speak to her daughter. It held her fine, but totally intended for young children. I love this table!

I recommend this table as a "long term" table for the kids. An adult can sit comfortably so to answer your question, its gonna last for many years to come!

We have seat on highest position for 2 yr old and it is perfect for a regular height table. Dont think it would work for counter height

I think it would depend on the size of the table. They would probably look nice with something like a 30 + inch round table between them. A smaller table (like an end table) would probably not work, IMO.

Yes, its is strong enough to use as bench. We've had three kids sit on it at a time (ages 8-10) and my father has also set on it and he is about 250 lbs. The top does have a little bit of a curve to itbut you can still easily use it as a serving table as well.

I often color and play on this table with a 3-year old. Coloring books would overlap if there were more than 2 people using the table. Single sheets of paper would probably work fine. We have had the table for several months and have enjoyed it alot.

I really like this rack a lot. I have a small kitchen and it sits beside my stove. I think it might be a bit small to use like an island but it certainly increased by counter space and increased b my storage. Hope this's helps.

It would work. It is very sturdy and constructed well. I bought it as a work table for outdoor projects and it works nice.

It's nice size table fits 6 people nicely. You can configure the table and chairs in any order. The corner piece we just removed and use the 2 bench seats and 2 chairs. It's a pretty big table that takes up a huge section of our kitchen.

I wouldn't recommend it unless it's a tiny one. The table isn't very wide (deep) and it's not all that sturdy. It looks great as something to put decorations on to fill an empty space in a room but it's not something you'd want to put a lot of weight on.

The other side has a drop shelf in a natural wood colour and a long folding leg that props it if you choose to use the shelf. Very sturdy and creates room for four small round counter stools. I happened to have four from an old gaming table that swivel and match perfectly. Great extra eating space. Two regular sized counter stools would fit nicely. We have a log home in northern Michigan. This island is perfect for extra pantry space and setting out munchies for guest. Love the stainless top. HIGHLY recommend it! Shipped great and easy to put together. Solid casters/locks and easy to move from room to room. The other side has a drop shelf in a natural wood colour and a long folding leg that props it if you choose to use the shelf.

They probably would not fit pushed in all the way, and the narrow ends are only a little bit wider than the chairs. So it would be cozy but if you are using it for play meals or short-term use as a kids table at family meals it would probably work okay. You would probably want to get a larger table if you would regularly be using it for 3-4 children doing projects or eating at it.

We really like this table! Although it is not sturdy enough for a computer table, it should work well for games and such. My husband set it up in the office at tax time, and his office chair worked well. I would recommend regular height kitchen chairs or folding chairs with this table.

While the stools are a near perfect height for a young elementary student, the top of the storage table has a rim that might make coloring or writing on it awkward. It would work well as a snack table since any spills would be contained, though! If you reverse the top and have the vinyl side up, it is padded to be comfortable for seating, so...again...probably not a good writing surface. The rim on the wood side is about 2" high which is why I think it would make coloring or writing on it awkward.

It's a great table! I used it at Thanksgiving for family overflow. Make sure the depth works for you.
