It is in my craft room. I suppose if you used the right top-coat you could do a painted countertop in your kitchen. {I'm not sure what the appropriate top coat for a food prep surface over paint would be! You probably wouldn't need any support for a 12" overhang. Your cabinets underneath would be adequate support for that small of an overhang. Once you get to 18-24" overhang…that's when one would want additional legs.

BTW I am loving this island. Do you have a tutorial? I have one from Ikea in my kitchen but it's open shelving and everything gets too dusty. I need one like yours. If I had a 12" overhang for a breakfast bar type thing, would that be able to be supported by the corbels?

Is this counter for a kitchen island? Does priming and painting protect the MDF from getting wet? Because I know MDF and water don't mix.
