After turning it all different ways in our kitchen we found the perfect position.  I love it!  It takes up just the right amount of room, so that you can see past it to the backyard.  The stools we bought from Wayfair fit nicely underneath.  I was looking for something white that was just the right size for a table in addition to our island, but not too big.  Love the shelves on it too, because it gives it a little extra personality.  It seems a little wobbly.  Maybe my husband can tighten up the screws.  Thank you Wayfair
