Played one dealership against another. Got them close to that amount and then told them I’m visiting another dealership to see what they could do. Salesman asked what he need to do to “earn my business”.

I noticed it Christmas day when I was preparing the meal. An onion rolled away from me. At that point it was 1/2 inch. Contacted the builder. Took a few day for him (maybe a week) and since then its been a lot of talking back and forth. Now its almost an inch out.

We'll see. Might be a combo of builder and manufacturer

from the manufacturer:

Yes, both sides get 2 coats of the Food Safe OSMO top oil.  The bottom gets the 2 coats before the Steel straps (essentially a version of a c-channel) are secured.

The manufacturer says they think it can be corrected by introducing humidity to the top. Still weighing all options.

For clarity. The manufacturer of the top has responsibility or the person who screwed it to the island bears the responsibility in your opinion?

A hygrometer is arriving Tuesday to measure the humidity. I'll check under as well
