Can your Cabinets Support Granite Countertops in Kitchen or Bathroom


Most cabinets will hold the weight of granite just fine. The thing you might need to worry about is if you have an exceptionally large overhang for a bar. Then you should have corbels or some sort of brace for any overhang over 10 inches.

If you have any doubt about the sturdiness of your cabinets or any other questions about installing your granite, be sure to ask your granite installation company.
