I'm not understanding the questions.

Not 100% sure what you are asking about specifically.

This looks like there is a built up edge on the front (mitered?), and then what does the outside look like because the "inside" looks like an additional piece was put on to cover the unfinished of the vertical piece and that's not the structural piece. It looks decorative.

If that is the case - it's hard to tell, but at least they cared about covering the backside and presenting a finished surface where you could see it.

There's a lot of fabrication that took place here - if that was done well (i.e. the outside / finished sides and the miters) then I would say this is an overall good sign.

Thank you for your reply.

I am trying to understand if the gaps put the stone at risk of cracking down the road as they don't sit flat on the cabinets?

Those pieces of wood between the cabinet and the stone( to raise I think), are they a sign of bad planning? Don't they prevent equal weight distribution of the stone? Shouldn't there be a play wood for stability?

I am very new to all this and just nervous and making sure the job is done right.

How deep and how wide is the overhang? Also, if you would take a few pictures standing further back that might help others help you.

What @Ann Marks said…what you’re showing is a manmade product, quartz, that is supposed to imitate marble. Definitely not granite.

My apologies. Yes it is quartz. What I am asking is giving the photos of the underneath area. Does it look study to you? The fact that nothing fits is concerning for me in terms of stability.

Thank you:)

I think what @Prt D is saying is:

"Hey isn't this a problem that the entire counter only has 3 or 4 small points of contact on which to sit? Shouldn't there be a plywood substraight beneath this? And shouldn't that counter substraight come into contact with lots of surface area of the cabinet beneath instead of sitting on 3-4 small points of contact? It is not very much surface area on which something should sit, so how is this stable? If this normal construction?"

Is it correct that the pink arrows show the only points of contact?

I'm curious too. My counter tops always had plywood substraights, but I have never had a waterfall constructed.

Thank you Kendrah! That's exactly what I am wondering. I am sorry I am a newbie with no prior knowledge of this

Plywood substrate is usually done with 2 cm slabs. That was my experience when doing several projects in CA. The plywood is there to lift the slab enough so you can do a mitered or laminated edge, so the slab looks thicker.

I now have 3 cm slabs and no plywood substrate was used. These projects are in FL. No need to do a mitered or laminated edge with 3 cm slabs. The standard 3 cm thickness looks good, as is, for the edge.
