Abstract
A countertop system includes a first slab having a first lateral slot that is laterally obscured by a first cover, and a second slab having a second lateral slot that is laterally obscured by a second cover. The first and second covers are configured to be removed with an application of pressure, and the first slot aligns with the second slot to receive a connector to couple the first slab to the second slab.
