I had a new home built and verde butterfly granite installed.  They placed the seams near the sink (which is fine) and then right in the middle of the counter!!  They could have put the seam near the built-in range in order to hide it better...instead it is right in the middle of our countertop workspace.  The granite company told me this is how it works since verde butterfly doesn't come in very long slabs.  Is this normal?  I know they did a sloppy job with the seams, so my thoughts are they did a poor job on everything.  I'm very disappointed.
