        "text": "Countertop overhangs for island seating typically range from 12 to 18 inches, with 15 inches serving as the standard balance between comfort and room clearance. Standard counter-height islands need 12 inches of knee clearance, while 15 inches gives taller adults comfortable seating. Any stone or quartz countertop overhang exceeding 10 to 12 inches requires hidden steel support brackets or decorative corbels to prevent cracking and support weight safely.",
