Kitchen alley width

One possible approach would've been to tile through, not fix down the island and see how you live with it but I think that ship's sailed.

That is what we did with ours to arrive at the 1200mm gap.  Not on wheels but take all the drawers out and empty the cupboards, and 4 strong blokes could slide the whole thing as one unit.

The fitter tells me it is not normally screwed to the floor at all, so potentially adjustable until the worktops go on, but not useable without worktops. Also difficult to visualise the aesthetic effect of adding the worktops on the surrounding spaces.

 

Outstanding fitter by the way, well practiced in tool feng shui.

mine isnt attached to the floor at all. The only thing tethering it to its location is the ducting for the hob and a few cables.

Thing really is what is workable for the dining table. 

i think the table has to be 900 wide, going narrower becomes cramped for xmas etc.

 

Anyone with a dining table adjacent to a wall care to comment on minimum space between the two ?

In the rental we're shortly to move out of we have our dining room table 650mm from wall......far to tight for comfort, feels "mean" and if you have 3 people down that side the middlee person can't get out behind those remaining seated.
