Transformable drawer front and countertop leaf

A cabinet including a drawer slidably mounted thereto comprising:

• a cabinet interior, and a cabinet front;
• the drawer having an inward position within the cabinet and an outward position extended from the cabinet front;
• said drawer in an assembly including said drawer with a drawer box, the drawer box including a front panel that bounds the drawer box from a front side of the drawer;
• a face/leaf element at a front of the drawer, the face/leaf element being separate from the front panel;
• the face/leaf element pivotally attached to the drawer at a pivot location at a top of the drawer including a stowed position abutting the front panel of the drawer and a horizontal deployed position, the face/leaf element transforming into a leaf near a top of the drawer when the face/leaf element is rotated to a leaf deployed position to extend outward beyond the drawer and the cabinet front;
• the deployed leaf forming an upwardly exposed horizontal surface, the leaf moving along with the drawer between the drawer inward position and drawer outward position, the inward position including the leaf abutting the cabinet front, the outward position including a leaf rear edge moved away to be spaced from the cabinet front;
• and a stay extends between the deployed leaf and a drawer/stay attachment location near a bottom level of the drawer, a torque arm extending from the drawer/stay attachment location to the leaf-to-drawer pivot location.
