Also you can put things on top of them, which means they fit nicely into the kitchen of most apartments.

Kitchen counters, too.

I like how the small cupboard used to host the rack is bigger than most bedrooms in European city apartments.

And they can be stored in A4-sized cabinets w/o difficulty as well.

Who doesn't have a lot of flat surfaces in their kitchen?

Aren’t they too big for a regular home kitchen?

The point is there isn't enough counter space as-is. Where do you chop things if you're cooking on the counter?

These are beautiful but not practical for small apartments.

Like the cabinets and whatnot? Wouldn't they be fitted to the space available or are the kitchen spaces standardized?

galley kitchens are awesome, super practical, keep mess out of sight.

IMO, this would be a major advantage of countertop units. Buy two or four or six or eight, store them away in the cabinet when they’re not in use and enjoy the extra counterspace, bring them out when you need them.

+ stacked kitchen

They use it alright (as a pantry/place to store dishes).

I just keep them on the counter in the kitchen.

OK I get it now. Some of this stuff is more like major appliances or furniture. TIL

You’d never mistake the kitchen counter for the kitchen table, yet each meets your description equally well.

Also, chairs.

choeger | karma 5417 | avg karma 3.41 · | 2020-05-26 08:25:45

from the examples, I would say, the type that includes the kitchen sink.

Kitchen counter/workspace lights mounted under cabinets above. Pretty common; IKEA sells sticky lights to mount that way now.
