I would never ever notice. Try to let it go.

Thanks Liz H. It’s been very stressful, no one seems to measure anymore. I will try to ignore

This is a super minor issue. Ignore it.

Deep breath - you are the only one that will ever know and you will adjust how you move about the space to compensate for the difference without missing a beat. Step back - focus on the whole.

Oh goodness! It might have been that the room is not exactly square. No one will notice. And if you have any quests that take out a measuring tape and measure it before cocktail hour, throw them out! Forget about it being textbook perfect and settle for visually perfect. Make a pitcher of margaritas and chill.

It probably won't be noticed BUT depending on the flooring, it could be. If the flooring has a linear pattern, be extra careful with the layout so you don't exaggerate the discrepancy.

Do toss any guests that measure...

I agree, ignore it. Your kitchen is very pretty, and if you hadnt pointed it out, I would never have noticed it.

Thanks everyone! Does anyone know if the counter itself being tilted about 1/8th of an inch every 3 feet is a big deal? I can kind of sense it - it doesn’t look like much but I wish it was perfect! :)

“the counter itself being tilted about 1/8th of an inch every 3 feet is a big deal?”

I know that being out of level would be a big deal if you had natural stone counters. Your island counter looks like Quartz from the pic, so it may not be so affected; perhaps Quartz experts here can chime in. But if your island counter were natural stone, over time this will cause stress in your counter. It could eventually warp or crack your natural stone countertop. Is there a seam in the island counter? If so, the counter out of level could stress the seam.

Not level would be a big problem for me.

It’s quartz but only one piece and it’s “double thick” so there are two sheets of plywood underneath between the quartz and the counters. The tilt just barely registers on my more sensitive level.

Nothing is perfect. Indiana....Let It Go.

I'm confused by what is not level. Is the top surface not level, either on it's own or in relation to the perimeter counter top? Or is the vertical part of the island not equidistant between the perimeter cabinets & island, from one end of the island to the other?

Top surface not being level where a marble would roll from one end to the other? I'd be annoyed at that every time I laid down a lemon or egg I guess and it rolled off. 1.5 inch horizontal difference between the island and perimeter cabinets (which appear to run parallel to each other) that's enough to bug me, especially if it's obvious on the floor. Like against the tile grout, etc.

But I do have something similar in the my shower and I just grimace when I look at it.

As far as can it be moved? Is the island free standing on top of the flooring? If so, I would say, depending on its size, it could possible to scoot it over if you have enough muscle. Remove all cabinet doors, drawer, etc and empty it out to lighten it and heave ho with some friends. push from down low.

Nothing is ever perfect, even if we wish it was. Its just not possible, even if you build everything brand new.

I've been in my home 28 years and if it wasn't for a kitchen remodel I'm planning, I never would have known the my counter is not level. Enjoy your kitchen!
