Whether to choose a pony or a flat depends on these things: Your personal likes and dislikes are most important! (Avoid all those "the thing you spent thousands on in now dated articles."). But your choice depends on floor space. In a larger kitchen you'll find the island can be just that--an island without sinks or cooktops breaking up the space. In any size kitchen, the pony gives you those extra inches of vertical space to tuck in light switches, cell phone charger stations, etc. There is some argument for the pony hiding the mess that comes with kitchens. And since everyone hangs out at the island, do give some thought to whether you are a "leaner" or a "sitter." And for entertaining? Whelp we could all just do what I've been told George Washington used to do. Apparently he stored doors in his stables (no garages back then) and when the big feed was planned, just put them on sawhorses and covered them with enormous sheets of fabric. They'd round up all the chairs around the house to seat the company. But I'll bet some nearby neighbors were aghast! har har har
