We are in the process of redoing our kitchen which includes bumping out the back of our house for a little more room. I have a GC doing most of the work but I am on the hook for the island.
Here is the general layout of new kitchen:

As you can see we are planning seating on two sides of the island. The overall size of the top is 96x44 as drawn.
Here is my current plan (side facing the stove):

And here is a render of the opposite corner showing both overhangs (~12-14" inch overhangs):

I am planning on making the carcass out of pre-finished maple and wrapping it in black walnut face frame, full overlay doors and panels.
I have never made a cabinet quite this large but since I want toe kick on both sides I am thinking about building the carcass as one piece with a continuous face frame and placing it on a separate riser to provide the toe kick. Here is an exploded drawing:

Note the top is stone. I will use steel L brackets to support the overhang. But I am a little concerned with the toe kick region on the right of the cabinet as it will be unsupported (only a few inches, but stone is heavy).
Suggestions?
Thanks!
