The top back lip looks easy enough to remove.
I really don't want to paint it because of some of the details. What I want to do thou is add on to the top or add a top so that it can also be an eating island.
If I just add a piece on the back I'm not sure I will be able to match the edge detail.
Your thoughts, ideas would be helpful.
