My hubby settled on four thick corbels, and drilled them into a backboard that isn't going any where. Our main concern is a friend we have who is a big guy. If he pushes up on the table, we just don't know what the granite will do. But we have asked enough questions to feel comfortable that we're just being over-precautious. The island is built like a tank. It isn't going to budge.

Granite is good quality. We should be fine. I trust the company.
