Kitchen Bencht-whoops

Well I have been looking forward to seeing the kitchen with benchtop installed - it is one of the most exciting parts for me.

This moment, however, was bitter sweet for us.

We love the kitchen - the shaker doors look great, the colour (Antique White) and the handles (what there are of them - more on order), the shape.

And the benchtop - beautiful colour (Caesarstone Cairo) but one big (or 20mm problem) - we chose 40mm benchtops but they have installed 20mm benchtops. Ahhhhh the pain. We have spoken to the kitchen company and they have accepted responsibility for the (costly) mistake and will replace the benchtop with the correct one. They have offered us a free laundry if we leave it 20mm. Hmmm what should we do? The ceramic butler sink is fitted to the 20mm top and alterations will have to be made under the sink if the benchtop is replaced. Also, having to replace the benchtop will mean that pretty much everything else is put on hold. The tiler cant tile without the benchtop on, the painter cant paint without the tiling being done, the flooring cant be done with the painting done. What to do... post some pics I guess.
