Hmm! No idea; perhaps just the shape for getting rid of an itch on ones back.

It's pretty hard to see the corners of the counter from the pic. I'd take close ups of each corner and post them.

As for your sink, I have the same one and LOVE IT! The gray will look great in there!

The obvious answer is the corners on an island single slab should match but I agree pictures showing exactly the difference between them would help. Mistakes do happen and 'maybe' that one corner was marked incorrectly and no one caught it - doesn't speak well to their QC but that's the world we live in. If the correct ones are more rounded and the offending one is more square, that should be fixable as opposed to the other way around.

Maybe the three rounded corners are wrong and the square corner is right??

I won't be going back into the house for at least another week so no close-ups sorry. Honestly I like the rounded corners and just want them all to match. Just thought maybe there is a reason why it doesn't match like the sink it too close or something. At this point since the counter is in I don't even know if they can round that corner on site or if it would require a reinstall. If it can't be done onsite I guess I learn to live with it. Thanks for the comments and sorry I didn't think to do close-ups before.

Are the other three corners part of the seating area and that one corner is the only one that is over a cabinet corner? that's the only reason I can see now having a larger radius corner on that end - as perhaps it would look odd with a right angle directly underneath it / show too close to the cabinet?

I agree with CP. We've told our builder FAR in advance that if something is not done per the plans or our written instructions, it's going to be redone PERIOD. Mistakes can be fixed but shortcuts will not be tolerated. I imagine that if you chose to accept it, it'll be bugging you in 10 years.

Well the builder says it's per spec, ie the model is that way. But that model is no longer open so I can't see to confirm. If the square edge could be even rounded just a bit it would look better. At this point I am upset as with something this small they are arguing, what happens when we do our walkthrough the week before closing and find small issues? Will I get told again it's per spec and just have to deal with it? Not sure our realtor will go to bat for us or not as she is married to our sales person. I guess I can email her and see. For the money we are spending I think a small thing like this they should be flexible on.

Just sent another emailing asking exactly what the spec is, we will see what they say I guess.

It really doesn't matter what spec is, imo. If you don't like it, that's a pretty simple change. You may have to pay a fee to get the granite guys out there, but it'd likely be minimal ~$200.

The only way it might be to the spec is if it's as jannicone suggested and the other three corners are part of the seating area. Are they? If not, he's giving you a bunch of BS.

It looks like it matches the inside corner of the sink. I think it might look odd being rounded right there next to the right angle of the sink...

I've lived in, owned and toured countless model homes over the years. I've seen a LOT... NEVER in my life have I seen such nonsense. WHO in the RIGHT MIND would purposely do that. Bottom line is this, YOU are the buyer and YOU will be living in the house. It needs to be resolved period and to your satisfaction. Why would a builder argue about a lousy $200 fix? Makes ZERO sense. Personally, I'd tell them when you get that fixed to my satisfaction we will be ready to move forward and until then, we are on hold and not proceeding. But that's just me LOL and if he's willing to lose a sale over something so trivial, so be it. Utter NONSENSE.

Well the builder says it's per spec, ie the model is that way. But that model is no longer open so I can't see to confirm.

I wish I could lend you the "teacher stare" I use when my seniors say something really, really stupid. The person trying to convince you that a mismatched corner is hunky-dory deserves it.

Thanks for the laugh mark1993 I needed it! Also we are meeting with our realtor tomorrow to see what can be done. Here's to hoping it goes well.

If I understand you, it's the way you really want it. When a countertop meets something...sink that protrudes, range, side cabinet, you really want it to butt flush. When they cut the countertops in a previous remodel we had radiused corners on the outsidse corners but wanted butt joints against the range. Well, they radiused them and it looked stupid. I was going to let it slide, but they screwed the sink up as well so I just had them start over.

Ron this is on the island so a 90 degree corner makes no sense.
