Oh, my goodness, that is breathtaking!!

Really stunning! I think if I had a big kitchen with vast expanses of counter, I'd want a dramatic stone with lots of movement, like you have.

That is spectacular. I love a statement granite.

Wow. Just wow.

I couldn't be happier. I really went out on a limb with this. It's not the "in" thing right now. But when I saw it. I loved it. Every time I went to look at it again. I still loved it. And today I was so impressed with it.

I did address those issues. My instructions were not followed.

Wow! What a show stopper.

gwlake - Fabulous. I'm sorry about the positive reveal and rounded corners but would hate to give up that granite. Love the movement! What on earth are you planning for backsplash and floor? (If you need photoshopping help, give me a shout).

I have never seen anything like that before. Amazing, almost surreal. A natural work of art. After numerous injuries an our previous sharp cornered island, rounded corners were at the top of our list this time.

"My instructions were not followed."

Withhold final payment. They will be then.

I think rounded corners on the island is best.

Here is the one corner I am talking about. The two facing the fridge are fine. It's the two corners facing the Family room.

I am not sure yet about the backsplash. I know I want to do a feature about the stove with the tantrum crackle. I need to bring my color samples over tomorrow when I go to clean the slab.

It's so gorgeous I'm hoping it will encourage others to go bold on their granite choices.

As for the corner, I agree, withhold final payment or let them find another slab from the same lot and remake it.

I prefer rounded corners so that looks great to me but it looks like the slab is too short or they cut off too much to round it or something. Hope you can get that resolved. The stone itself is stunning and unique and beautiful!

Dcward, and cpartist. Yes, that is it exactly. It looks way too short.

Big islands are just what a fabulous piece of granite needs....gorgeous!

Oh, that's pretty--I compared a similar stone to a melting hot fudge/caramel sundae. :)

To clarify, they used a different radius on the back corners of the island? What was the reason given?

Okay I see now how it looks short...could they have placed it wrong?

Holy moly! That's absolutely stunning!

Just Fab!!

hope u get your problems solved to your satisfaction, best of luck!!

it's incredibly awesome! I do like rounded corners...

whatever the problems I'd live with it unless they had an identical slab.

what's the difference from the corners on the other side of it?
