Size of island?
Inches of overhang?
Is it all custom cabinets?
Are those cabinets in the back side? with push to open instead of handles?
Do you have a dishwasher? If so, where is it?
I don't see any gfci plugs on the island.

actually everything is from ikea diy except for the countertop
(ikea veddinge white door & blankett handle)
the island countertop is about 118" x 48" deep, there is back to back cabinet on both side of the island. (standard 24" cabinet at the front + 15" cabinet at the back, so the countertop has roughly 9" overhang)
The back side cabinet are push to open door, basically just storage
The front side are where all the drawers, sinks and dishwashers (next to the sink on the right)
There are power outlet inside the cabinet for the dishwasher & built in drawer lightings...but nothing outside on the island because of the waterfall edge. (I ran some wire and was going to put an outlet on the island toekick but I thought it looked weird so I didn't install it in the end)
Don't know how much price changed now, but all the ikea cabinet costed only $5K in 2016.
The quartz counter & waterfall edge cost >$6K even back then.
I had all the size and measurements planned out in sketchup. Ikea had their own software too but it was horrible to use..
btw, don't use those ikea plastic leg for the cabinet & island. They look like toy plastic and the countertop weight >700lbs...
I built a box frame with 2x6 lumber + plywood and just sit the cabinet on top.
