Granite can support its own weight up to 12″ unsupported, as long as the top is all one level. If it is an especially long countertop, we still recommend brackets or posts; always better to be safe than sorry. With raised countertops for seating, there must always be some type of support underneath. Never allow someone to sit or stand on an unsupported area.
