you are thinking about the space right now. it looks odd, no doubt. 1) when you fill in with the furniture, just make sure the three steps are hidden. 2) consider three potted plants of different height, so the rectangle is complete. 3) glass bowl with Siamese fighting fish for each step 4) figurines of different heights 5) 2inch square wooden bar on each step up to the top of the rectangle. and complete the entire rectangle if you want with a smaller rectangle open in the center my suggestion is, there is a reason why this space ended up like this. it will look great once you put something there. things like these are what make your house unique.

Most likely these fissures would be there before installation. Yes, it is feasible to replace the granite piece but the workers have to be cautious. You may try offering them extra money most likely they will do it. Before buying your newer slab check thoroughly for fissures and cracks. Thanks, Amit CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore

I found a bunch of stuff last year while dismantling my bed and cleaning under it. There was stationery, old socks, a kitchen cloth, earrings and chew toys ... all hidden there by my dog (he being tiny could access its deepest sections). He was quite disappointed that I found his stash -- I on the other hand was quite amused and happy.

One Follow-up question.. Is there any strength issue with 20mm Granite slab over 40mm Granite.. Are the 20mm granite slab prone to chipping or crack on normal usage.. Usage would be like, chopping vegetables, keeping hot vessels,.. The normal usage what happens in normal indian kitchen.. I just want to be sure that I decide based on experts judgement (like you), as people are just throwing their opinion based on their guess...
