Slab Viewing Customer will contact their Installer to discuss where to view a larger sample of the Natural Stone they have chosen for their countertop. This in-person or virtual slab viewing is their final chance to confirm and approve their choice of Natural Stone. If they decide NOT to view a larger sample of the Natural Stone, they fully and completely understand that there could be a variance of color, texture, pattern in their installed countertop.
