Will it just be in the way?”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a fair worry, and the numbers answer most of it. The Vancouver Compact takes up 90cm by 74cm of floor, less than a lot of kitchen tables. Leave around 90cm clear on each side where you walk or open a drawer and it needs a space of roughly 2.7m by 2.5m in all. Measure yours before you come to the showroom in Ballincollig, and bring the numbers with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for that floor: a marble top at 92.5cm, two drawers and open shelving underneath, and a frame in pine solids and veneers. The timber has a cross-sawn texture from a mill saw, so you feel the grain as much as see it. Having people over is easier with somewhere to put things down: the bowl of crisps, the bottle, the dish someone has just handed you, without hunting for a clear bit of counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#571f32\"\u003eMeasure first\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimension\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003emm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ecm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e900\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e740\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e925\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e92.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrawer, inside width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e336\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrawer, inside depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e253\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrawer, inside height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGap between shelves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawers take tea towels, utensils and the corkscrew.

Pine moves a little as the heating comes on and off, so a hairline shift at a joint in the first winter is normal and settles. New drawers can run stiffly for a few weeks and ease with use. Marble is a natural stone: wipe up wine, lemon and vinegar promptly and use a board for chopping. An anti-topple kit comes with the island, and it’s worth fixing, especially with small children in the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#571f32\"\u003eGetting it into the kitchen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in two boxes, around 98kg packed, and only the top needs fitting.
