Are granite counter tops a fad? Synthetic solid surface materials seem to
have a
lot more appeal to me, but I don't know much about them.

My wife has indicated that she might want some sort of butcher block
counter
tops. Are those in vogue any more?

I'm on my third house with granite. I think I might like to try one with
concrete, but my first choice from experience is granite.

As for butcher block, they have health issues if they are too large to clean
easily, but then, the old butchers didn't seem to have a lot of problems,
did they?
