My sister has one, works well except minus TV (in another room) and plus play things. Toys on the floor in the kitchen can be a touch hazardous but it is nice to have a big 'busy' space.
Helps to have a clearly demarcated kitchen zone - eg between island unit and wall with hob, worktop and wall units, no toys or playing allowed.
Anyone here have an open plan kitchen/dining room? Considering it for our new place - it is really appealing to have the idea of being able to cook while keeping an eye on the kids while they watch TV or do homework at the table if (ignoring size for a moment), cooking, TV and eating/homework is too much for a single area?
