Materials: Varde Base Cabinet, Countertop TBD
Description: I moved into a small apartment and am in need of more storage and counter space. I decided that a kitchen island with storage and 2 overhands would be best so it could double as my kitchen table and desk area.
I am planning on buying the Varde base cabinet: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30158391 and installing a counter on top.
My question is, since the Verde is not attached to the floor, do you think it could withstand a countertop with an overhang on the back and right side? My concern is that if you are sitting on the long side of the bar that if you put pressure on the overhang that the unit would tip.
Also, do you think the material would make a difference, a lighter formica verse a granite when it comes to tipping?
Above is a rendering, ignore dimensions and drawers. Assume the cabinet/ base is the Varde...it illusrates the overhangs.
Would love any help!
Thanks!

Here is a Varde kitchen island that may give you an idea of what is achieveable. Any input, anyone?
