        "text": "A waterfall edge can make an island a strong visual feature, but it increases fabrication complexity, material use, seam planning, and corner precision. It may be worthwhile when the island is a focal point, but a standard overhang or finished end panel can provide a simpler, lower-cost appearance.\n\nContext: Waterfall sides require coordinated stone grain, edge treatment, and measurements on multiple planes. Existing floors and walls that are not square can make installation more demanding.\n\nKey factors:\n- Slab size, pattern direction, and seam visibility.\n- Corner alignment and cabinet plumbness.\n- Budget and the importance of the island’s side elevations.\n\nPractical guidance: Ask to see the end-panel or waterfall treatment in the 3D design and confirm where seams will occur. Elite Remodeling & Design can compare finish options as part of the material-selection stage.\n\nThe best choice depends on visual priority, budget, and how the island is viewed from adjacent rooms.",
