Standalone (separated) cabinet


Explanation:
What is the question here? You are unfamiliar with the term "island" or "countertop" or what?
Do you need it translated into another lng?

Anyway, island is a standalone cabinet, that might or might not also have a sink or an oven. This cabinet has a countertop that can be made of various materials such as natural stones( granite, marble, sedimentary rock) or laminated surfaces at the cheaper end ( made of pressed layers of plastic and paper)

Maybe extend the island countertop horizontally, with chairs on each side for a/the breakfast area


Explanation:
I interpreted the sentence as a wish from the client, expressing their idea to the professional. If it's the other way around, the professional can say: What do you think of extending the island...
Example, normally with stools (high chairs): https://images.app.goo.gl/JEhESxETUNFmZUKn7
I don't know what you mean by "come out in the middle of the island". If you mean there will be an attached table at a lower level, and that's why you said "come out in the middle", I'd suggest saying:
Maybe attach a table to the island (with same countertop material or not), with chairs on each side for a/the breakfast area
Example, with normal height chairs: https://images.app.goo.gl/2BWG37VjuqDk5rAy5
