We went through the design process for our custom designer home. We sized our island as large as possible for a jumbo slab of quartz. We have two other counters and no corners. We asked that there be no seams. The designer said, "We will put seams wherever we want." we also asked for a sink cutout that didn't hang out well over the sink and the designer said, "It's whatever is the easiest and most forgiving for the installer which is an overhang."
We priced our Cambria for after closing installation no seams and choice of sink cutout at $7K. The builder was charging $12K. So we got laminate instead. It's a good thing we did because our cabinets had over 400 defects including manufacturing and installation issues. Those defects were remedied at a low level 15 months after closing. I no longer want to spend top dollar on Cambria to place on top of crappy cabinets. In the mean time, the prices have gone way up on all quartz.
