The people who constructed this kitchen counter entirely in Lego are hipper than you. They also cannot possibly have children, because children would poke and smack at that thing relentlessly, and also hound you from morning until night asking “but why can’t we play with it, Mommy? WHY?”
But that’s not the real problem with this Lego counter.
The real problem is this: BACTERIA. All those tiny little cracks between the blocks? Just you try getting kitchen gunk out of there. Bacon splatter? Wine dribbles? Random milk spillage? All kinds of yuck will work its way in there and you will not be able to get it out. Any parent who has tried to get Play-Doh out of an entirely accessible Lego piece can tell you that that shit isn’t easy to clean, and once all the pieces are shoved together? You might as well give up and embrace the staph infections.
Looks cool , though.

That is pretty funky. We’re in the midst of a kitchen reno right this very moment and my kids would rally very heartily for that rather than what we’ve chosen.
But seriously..

Actually, you could seal it with a couple of coats of clear acrylic and avoid contamination. And you could glue as you go so it wouldn’t fall apart. Think of the giant lego constructions at Disneyworld. I think it’s cool!
True that. Now I am kind of tempted to build a Lego cabinet.

I think it’s really cool too, but, quick story, When my oldest was 5 he asked me what made the red plastic apple they had chime. (Do you remember those toys? I don’t think you can get them anymore?) Anyway, I said I’m not sure, we’d look it up when we went to the library later in the week (this was ’96 or ’97, and we didn’t have internet at home). I woke up at about 3 that night to a “bang, bang, bang” in the living room, got up, and it was him going at the poor toy with a hammer. I said, “What are you doing?!” he said “I want to know what makes it chime,” “So you’re hitting it with the hammer in the middle of the night!?”, “Well, you wouldn’t let me if you were awake!”.
So, I’m pretty sure that with the right kind of kid, all the acrylic and glue in the world wouldn’t save the poor cabinet! :)
