KMS Woodworks on Aug 17, 2012You can't get much cheaper than a basic laminate...as far as durability goes they are pretty robust. I have seen some that were over 20 years old and still going strong. New patterns can look like granite...so the appearance is no longer boring and ugly.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Aug 20, 2012Sounds like a road trip may be in your future. When working on our cabin In New Mexico, the nearest "anything" is 35 minutes and the nearest HD is about 2 hours as well.Helpful Reply
