InterDesign Studio That's a very good observation, and something very often overlooked. There's a thick steel plate under the cantilevered portion of this round dining top, as well as an add'l support from the middle of the round top which angles back to the cabinet at floor level - so that it carries alot of the weight, but doesn't effect the kneespace.

InterDesign Studio Thanks for your interest. Those ceiling fans are from Fanimation "Escalade - FP2320 Series"

krisgret Where did you get a steel plate made up? Did it go under the entire granite bar, or just maybe a foot in, then spacers the rest of the way to keep the granite level? Thanks for the help!

krisgret And what size was the steel plate? Thanks again!

InterDesign Studio It's called "Van Gogh" and actually is a marble (altho a very dense marble, hard enough to use for countertop).

InterDesign Studio Yes there is, we have a bookmatch in the middle of this 19' long island. Our seam shows up in the attached pic below - at the copper oxide streak.

z234538 Thank you for your quick response. That solution will be too expensive for me, but it looks great. My issue is that I have an existing island that I am extending from 7 feet to 12' 4" that will include seating (it is 33" wide). The existing counter is 38" high made of concrete, which I dont like. I dont want pub height and I cant get a peice of granite or quartz that long. My solution is to drop the extention to 35" and make it less wide than the higher counter to differentiate it. My concern is that the 3" drop will seem odd, and I have not been able to find any photos of counters with small differences in height. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Again, thanks.
