Side Table

Counter space I have very little. I want to add a side table that would serve as an island or a gun to me?
against the present. How high must be the table? any other thoughts?
Most counter tops are about 36 inches above the floor. You can get the legs of tables this time too. Most of the tables sit about 29 to 30 inches above the floor. If you go to work standing up, the few extra inches makes a world apart. The New Yankee Workshop Web site has plans for a chef is very nice table with the butcher block top. You may want to at least look at the picture of her.
