Last Nov. we went with a solid surface acrylic called Staron® by Samsung and we're very happy with it!

I'm reluctant to get solid surface acrylic because it's a bigger risk to stains from my brief research.

We've had our corian counters for going on 11 years. Still look like new. Don't put a hot pan directly on it (it's plastic afterall) it the only caveat.

Fully integrated sinks with no seams, lips, etc. have been an especially cool feature.

Buyers want to see granite tops in kitchens. You won't regret the decision.

granite is available with a life time seal polished into it (For a few bucks more per square)eliminating the need for sealing , in todays market I put in all surfaces and the are all good, I like all of them and the all have good benefits the only true thing to stay away from is sharp blades and extreme heat!!!
We went with a new laminate that looks and feels like stone due to our budget and we have been extremely happy with it. Most people think we have granite
