Granite is what seems to be the current trend right now in high end houses. If you are looking for a possible resale value then definitley go granite. My husband and I flip houses and when we do granite it tends to add 15 - 20k more to the sale price. We also are very good shoppers and have found a local granite store that costs half the price of what you would spend on corian at let's say a Lowe's or Home depot. Not only is granite beautiful but also very durable. Shop around for wholesale stores. Most wholesale stores will also offer very inexpensive installers. Also , if you want to go even cheaper with almost the same effect, you could do granite tiles. Although nothing beats slab! Good luck!

Granite kitchen counter tops are synonymous with quality and style to a great extent because of the way that it is a standout amongst the most costly counter tops you can purchase combined with the fact that it is highly durable and beautiful looking. If you are a genuine cook or simply need the best in life, then a granite kitchen counter top makes the perfect choice.

I've got corian it was expensive, but granite cost even more! I think that they both can get scratched up! I hear rollin out pie crust on granite is great because of the temp of the stone.
Good luck!

Granite if you can afford it, concrete if you have more time than money. Type in "concrete countertops" on Amazon.com, you'll get many results in books and how-to videos. It's an easy, but long process.

Have you ever seen concrete countertops? They are amazingly pretty if they are done right. Plus, you can add all sorts of versatility to them because you can mold them to whatever you want.
