quartz(Vicostone) counter seem?

We had our new kitchen counters installed last night and everything looked great until we notice the seem/joint on our counter where there is a 90degree bend. It looks as though they missed the sizing and then tried to fill it? Do you agree? It just looks like an eye sore. Our project required two slabs so I’m hoping they will come back with another piece to replace the small stretch to make the seem better. Thoughts?

I'm not sure what your complaint is? That looks like a pretty typical seam to me, placed appropriately to preserve the mitered edge. Unless there is a chip in the mitered corner? I can't tell from the photo.

Holey, if you look at the 1st pic you see how the joint just doesn’t match up and looks as though it’s filled with caulk, seems like it’s not done well. Maybe I’m just super picky but it’s for sure not as clean of seam as we had with previous granite

I see what you’re talking about, however I don’t think it’s horrible. Worth a shot though.

If it's not any cost to you, yes I would definitely get that redone. I work with countertops every single day - not a usual seam. I would be unhappy with that.
