      We purchased a rare and highly desirable granite slab from KB Countertops for our newly remodeled bathroom. KB Countertops was responsible for fabricating and cutting the granite to fit our space, ensuring a seamless and premium look that aligned with our design vision. Unfortunately, their mishandling and poor craftsmanship resulted in significant issues that disrupted our project, caused financial loss, and compromised the final outcome.During the installation process, the installer identified a noticeable gap along the backside piece due to an uneven cut made during fabrication. The installer took the slab back to the warehouse to correct the error. However, while at the warehouse, KB Countertops dropped and broke the ******* this point, we had already installed the main slab, and our sinks had been permanently attached. The breakage forced us into a difficult decision: either select a new slab (which would delay our project by weeks and require repurchasing two sinks at an additional cost of $1,000) or accept a replacement piece from the remaining slab that no longer maintained the wallpaper effect that was essential to our design.We spent an entire day visiting multiple granite yards and KB Countertops locations searching for a suitable replacement, but due to the rarity of our stone, no acceptable match was available. With no viable alternative, we had no choice but to accept a piece from the original slab that did not maintain the intended visual continuity.After weeks of waiting for the fabrication of the replacement piece, the newly cut piece was delivered and installed, only to find that it had been miscut again, leaving a significant gapclose to inch, which was far worse than the original fabrication error. Additionally, the side pieces were miscut from the wrong end, further disrupting the wallpaper effect. We are requesting a 50% refund of the granite costs due to delays, fabrication errors, and loss of intended design quality.
