Attaching breakfast bar to worktop

rmjowen

So, I am installing a new kitchen and have a worktop at (about) 900mm height. I intend to have a taller breakfast bar slightly overlap this, which will be 1100mm high.

Finding legs to fit the breakfast bar to ground is fine, they are easily available, but, for the 200mm gap between the breakfast bar and worktop, I need a solution which, while in place will be somewhat secure, but, can allow for the entire thing to be detached and removed.

Basically, I am in need of a 200mm table leg, with something like a 10mm - 20mm pin protruding from the base, which can sit in two holes on the worktop.

Any ideas for this, or alternative solutions will be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Think about using similar to these. You could plug the end of the tube with timber then insert smaller size dowels to go in the holes in the worktop if you didn't want 25mm holes (say 10/12mm). I wouldn't go down to the 19mm tube because of the weight of the b/bar plus whatever is placed on it.

Actually, something more like this:

But that looks a little neater, without the big chunk of black plastic at the top and base. Or potentially somehow using this:
