I have never done any countertop work. A business is authorizing me to get a countertop which is formica/particle wood and to install it perpendicular to the existing one in their mailroom. The 4′ extension will be against the existing one and against a wall so that they will have a continuing work area (countertop) along two walls. The new countertop will not be installed with any storage area below. They just want it to extend from the existing one. I am planning to cleat the back end against the wall, support the two counter surfaces meeting with a board and screws and I will support the other end of it with a bookcase unit. I do not know if I can order this unit to exact needed dimensions or if I can cut it to those dimensions otherwise. Should I just dish this off to a countertop company?
