Breakfast Bar

We have a side area against the wall measuring 205cm in length. We would like to piut a breakfast bar in this area with a worktop of approximately 205cm x 45cm, attached to a few leg stands.

Ultimately a free standing one would also suffice. However im not sure where to start or where to look. Ive seen worktops on line but they seem to be 2m x 96cm width in general.

Any advice?

  • If you can loose the 5cm get a 2m by 600mm and cut 150 of the width

    My nearest B&Q (depot) has a great big cutting machine for stuff like this, but anyone with a half decent circular saw could do it for you. Two minute job.

    Friends, neighbours, relatives, local handy man?

    Buying a cheap circular saw for £50 would almost be as cheap as getting someone in to fit it but it might be worth buying in B&Q or a timber merchants and getting it cut there. Heck for 1 cut a decent regular saw would probably be fine.
  • yeah get it from b and q and ask them to cut it for free. they only sell 3mts lengths though as far as I know
