Granite Overhang

Hi, my cabinet people are wanting to put an 18" overhang of granite on the island in our kitchen we're building. I think that's too much and looks cheap. I need an opinion on whether 12" or 14" would be better. From what I've read, people on the internet say 12" is sufficient to fit stools underneath. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    12" - 14" is pretty standard. If you don't like the 18" depth, there is no good reason to do it.

    12"-14" is standard, it is just a matter of personal taste! Good luck with your build!

    if you want to eat meals there, as opposed to 'drinks and nibbles' you'll want to go on the deeper side. lay out your plates on the counter, and measure how much space you want. then measure how far your knees go when you are sitting 'comfort distance' at a table.

    if this isnt about eating meals at the counter, then choose what looks good to you.

    We have 13" overhang at counter height. Works great for us. HTH

    Whatever overhang you decide on, be sure to get confirmation whether the overhang requires support, and if so, how is that accomplished.
