So this countertop is actually a set of 3 pieces that are kind of like table leaves. I made these for my friends who live in a fairly small house that lacks countertop space and this is meant to help with that. These will sit on top of a half wall that runs around the perimeter of a set of stairs going down to the basement. There is a notch around the 3 sides that sit on the wall so it basically straddles the wall to hold it in place and there are also pairs of magnets between the sections to keep them from sliding apart. It's broken into sections to be somewhat temporary so it can be stowed away in a closet when not in use.
