My problem is laminate, in a KITCHEN???? No way, no how, never!


I agree , but maybe budget constraints are the issue...Still I would have
used vinyl first..JMHO....

Agreed. Laminate is NEVER appropriate for a kitchen. Unless you never, ever
use it. I have several friends with McMansions and their kitchen counters
and appliances are the only dusty surfaces - they never, ever cook. Bizarre!
