Synthetic counters vs. Granite
It is personal thing....I like granite and have not had a problem with chipping (surprised to read a previous poster mentioned that). I like the natural differences and shine of granite rather than the sameness of the man-made stuff.Two months ago I accompanied a friend when she was looking to replace her laminate countertops with corian/silestone/granite. They owner of the company noted that the man-made product pricing has increased signifcantly due to the price of oil, while granite pricing has held steady. FYI - the only maintainance with the granite is a once a year resealing.
