The Modular Kitchen Challenge:
Our kitchen island has developed a 3 mm sag in the middle after just three years, even though it's built with 19 mm BWP plywood and topped with quartz. The installer says it's normal. Is it?

[ChefDeCabinet_Expert]: No. A correctly engineered island should not exhibit measurable sag under normal domestic loading. The issue usually lies in excessive unsupported span, missing steel reinforcement, inadequate intermediate partitions, poor stretcher design, or improper load transfer to the floor. Before replacing the island, perform a structural assessment to identify the exact point of deflection.
