Question: how tall are the legs?  Will it sit flat above gas burners?
Document: I have a gas stove with large high burners so it will not sit correctly. The pegs are too short and they are too close together. It does however fit very nicely on my daughter's electric stove.More Counter Space White
As Alicia V said, if this item only had four pegs at each corner it would fit the stove perfectly and not interfere with the burners, which would mean that it would lay flat and evenly on the stove which would make it be fully functional without being wobbly.So, it looks like Alica V and I are stuck trying to use this over the stove countertop to prepare food while it wobbles and slips around our stove because the center legs hit the burners preventing it from laying flat.
Completely covers the stove top, making more counterspace - just as described! In a small kitchen, this is perfect. The legs on the underside are a bit tall - about 1.5" - 2", which raises the working surface. Good for a taller person, like me, but could be too high for a short person.
I use the large white tray to protect my counter top when I'm preparing food. I cut off the legs so the tray sits flat on the counter. It has a pebbly surface so items don't slip around. It is easy to wash and is large enough to put a cutting board on it, too.
The only thing that kept me from ordering this product is that I felt the legs made it too tall and would still allow dust to settle under it. I give this company 5 stars for their customer service as well - I saw that they removed the legs for another reviewer and asked if they could do the same thing for me. They did so without any additional cost saving me time, money and the aggravation of having to do it myself.
This is great. We have limited counter space in our small kitchen and use the stove top for many things besides cooking. This tray/cutting board is great. It keeps the stove top protected.It has small legs that sit on the oven top WITHOUT touching the heated cooking areas/circles.
My review is reporting exactly what Alicia V reported in her review of this over the stove countertop. That is, that what the description of this product fails to tell you is that it has six little pegs on it to elevate it over the stove, including four corner pegs and two outter pegs in the center of this item. Although it is the right overall size for my stove, its two center pegs interfere with the burners on my stove preventing this over the stove countertop from laying flat and evenly.
We ordered this black counter space item and we are SO glad we did. The product is of high quality. With the little legs at the bottom (better seen when looking at the picture of the white version), this sits just high enough over the burners to clear them without being any higher than it needs to be so it doesn't look obtrusive. In fact, it looks better in person than I would have thought. Looks like it should have always been there.
We have gone green, but our stove is still on propane. We bought some electric burners that sat atop the gas burners but they were not stable. With this top, it allows us to cook safely. And it matches our black appliances.
Single male doesn't need all the heat and useless extra gas burners but in a cramped apartment I gained precious counter space and place my small appliances on this item. Works great. Only problem was extra shipping charges and it seemed to take much longer than anticipated.
Answer: The clearance is a little more than 1 1/4 inches.  It clears my raised electric burners with room to spare.  Measure from the stovetop to the top of your gas burners using a flat ruler and level to get a true reading.  If it is less than 1 1/8" you should be fine.  It is a great product.  If by some chance it gets a stain that is hard to remove get the Cerama Bryte from Home Depot which gets just about anything off of any surface, even permanent marker.  I highly recommend the more counter space stovetop cover and the cleaner.
