Lines of multiple countertops would look better if the lines in the andesite texture were horizontal when viewed from the front.

Side by side comparison with the counters from Builders Crafts and Additions:

This is semi-intentional. The problem with rotating the top texture is that corners and turns won't look as seamless, so I don't really want to do that.

Point taken. This looks fairly strange. I guess I can always make my countertops face north/south.
