These are my pics of my countertops placed Friday June 22, 2018. I cried looking at these seams. It looks so cheap. Fabricator explains that's the way it comes. I explained that I shouldn't be able to see the seams so clearly. It looks so unprofessional. They ended up taking them back to their warehouse. In hopes they say if it is quality control will try and fix it just to make it look better. Otherwise I will have to pay an additional fee for them to come out again to install. I just don't know what to do and if still looks the same. This is the first time I've replaced my counters in 24 years. I don't and can't live with it. looking at this for another 24 years. It looks so cheap and it really was not it's a lot of money to me. I hope fingers crossed that they will fix this problem. They never told me that there would be such seams. I thought the edges were done by a machine and it would be all one piece. I have read up on this and now understand there are seams. But now I do know that they should not look like this. If they are good fabricator you shouldn't be able to see them so clearly. I will find out next week what happens.

Live wire oak; thanks for the response. While you didn't necessarily see it the same way I did, you gave me a good idea... look at the ceasarstone specs. I checked and they use the same 1/16 standard. By my calipers they are just outside that limit, but honest folks could differ on my reading. I found a more important section, however. It states, "Caesarstone requires the use of colored glue on all seams," and goes on to specify a color to be used with buttermilk slab. The glue used is a pure white, and clearly not tinted. I think in the end I will let them try to re-glue it. We'll still have to see about the chipping from the chattering saw. If it's less visible with the right glue I'll probably just let it go.

Seeing this in 2024 and that seam is TERRIBLE! Either the technology has completely improved or people saying it’s completely fine just have a very low standard. 😳I have never signed off a counter with seems like this, nor will I.

thank you for your feedback! what do you recommend to solve the problem? here is one more photo so you can see the location, right by the window so the seam is very visible in the light
