Wilsonart like the plague as a newbie -- it chips very easily and is
much more brittle than Formica).

I've used Formica on a couple of recent projects and
Wilsonart on one. I do agree that Formica seems to be
significantly better. I was quite surprised since I
expected them to be pretty much equivalent. I shall
stick to Formica for any new projects since it does
appear to be tougher and more durable.

I don't think the Wilsonart is quite as terrible as you
have portrayed but it sure ain't Formica.
