The Metal Counter is a welded steel kitchen counter with storage inside. The in-game tooltip says it is great for storage and easy to keep clean.
It sits in the Furniture part of the Building menu and uses the Welding skill. It comes in Shoddy and a finished version tiers. It gives a base both a work top and a storage container in one tile. It holds a fair amount of gear. The finished tier asks for a high Welding level. Wooden counters are the cheaper choice for builders without welding gear. The Metal Counter Corner matches it for the corners of a kitchen.
How to Build Metal Counter
This recipe must be learned first. The magazine Welder Monthly - May 1993 teaches it. The Welder occupation knows it from the start.
Both tiers take the same materials. Each needs four Steel Sheet - Small, two Iron Pipe and two Door Hinge. A Welding Torch and Welding Rods join the parts. Both are drawn down by the build.
The Shoddy tier asks for Welding level 3 and gives 30 Welding XP. The finished tier asks for Welding level 8 and gives 80 Welding XP.
Start with the Shoddy tier while Welding is low. Switch to the finished tier once the skill reaches level 8.
Each version of the Metal Counter has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.
It needs Welding level 3. Building it gives 30 Welding XP. The recipe has to be learned first.

How to Use Metal Counter
The counter works as a storage container. It holds 50 units of items.
It also gives a surface for crafting. Many recipes can be done at any table or counter.
Taking it apart calls for a Propane Torch and a Welder Mask. Plan its spot before building.
Line it along a kitchen wall. Use the Metal Counter Corner where two runs meet.
Build Tiers
Both tiers cost the same steel, pipe and hinges. The finished tier needs Welding level 8 and gives far more XP. Build Shoddy counters early to train Welding. Move to the finished tier for the main kitchen once the skill is high.
Each version of the Metal Counter is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.
