The island kitchen has the advantages of being easy to communicate because one can overlook the living room from the kitchen, and being easy to cook with several people. However, it did not function as a dining table unless a dining table was adjacent to the island kitchen or a counter was externally attached.
[0003] Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 1, an island kitchen having dining table surfaces on both sides so as to sandwich a heating device is disclosed. Specifically, each of the heating devices is provided side by side in the longitudinal direction and at the center with respect to the top plate of the island kitchen, and the surface of the remaining top plate is used as a dining table surface. The length of the dining table surface in the short side direction is 290 to 360 mm, and the height of the top plate is 850 mm suitable for use in an upright state. Further, a pull-out operation unit for operating each of the heating devices is provided below each of the dining table surfaces.
