But, they still lived in a modest-priced house or it was dated through-out the rest of it. Nutz!

People pour a bowl of cereal or make a salad the same way no matter what the surface is.
You make a very good point. Growing up we never gave a thought to what type of countertop someone had in their kitchen. Lol.
