One end of the counter:



As you can see, there is a "lip" or whatever on the underside of the edge of the countertop that sits on top of the cabinet frame. This causes the rest of the underside to sit slightly higher than the top of the cabinet. Same thing on the other end:



In the middle, however, the edge of the counter is not over the cabinet because the countertop is oversized to extend outward over the back of it, to provide a counter for someone to sit at if you get barstools or whatever and sit them under there.



So there's nothing along the length of the underside of the countertop to hold it all up level with either end and it's sagging down into the gap between it and the cabinet. I want to raise it up to be level, or as level as possible, and then slide something in the gap to support it permanently.
Ahh, yes, that'd be Pluto. Where I was at, that is. Hmmm. hmmm, (thinking which button I can push on the dashboard to get me back to earth). Ah, here it is (WoooooooSHHH!). OK, I'm back!

Well, after following Wolferz's advice on lifting it, you could use some pine shelving boards to fill in the gap. That doesn't look (in the photo) to be 2" deep, so maybe a 1" X 6" length of pine, glued and screwed into place.
