NOTE: Custom countertops are not required. These are offered only for aesthetics on lower frames (such as 48"high and lower). Countertops are 2 1/2"high and will typically add an additional 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" of width and length and 3/4" to 1" of height to your frame assembly. For example, a 36"high frame will be approximately 37"high with a added countertop. The 2 1/2"h solid wood edging hangs over the upper cross rail of the frame.
