Not practical for the kind of cooking or meal prep that I do. There's very little working space. Too much wasted open space which those cone ceiling lamps take up nicely. I need lots of counter space. I like glass door cabinets to show off nice dishes, serving plates, glassware, designer pieces, not cooking pots, prep bowls, cookbooks and such. This is just a design idea that holds as long as there is only a beverage to pour or a piece pie to serve. Looks good as long as there is no kitchen commotion happening.
