mschreckiam Another related question and thank you so much for your reply. I want to do caesarstone countertop with a square mitred edge. I am thinking 2.5-3" front. Most places are saying 2". Is is about weight, cost, etc. I think 1 or 2" counter top looks too little. I am looking at a shaker door front that is about 3"- 31/4" wide frame around it. What is your experience and design feeling? Thank you!

Rochman Design-Build Inc. Are you talking about the overhang of countertop beyond the cabinet on the side with the doors? We generally use 1 1/2" beyond the front of the cabinet carcass as our rule of thumb. This extends the countertop beyond the doors, but not so much that it gets in the way. Too far out, and it begins to get in the way of opening and using top drawers.

Besides functionality, there is a cost associated with it. Countertops are sold on a square footage basis. The bigger the overhang, the more material you need. Depending on the layout and the material, those extra inches can add up and strongly impact the overall cost.
