Charlie,

Why wouldn't it look nice after you use it in a real world situation. I
have a laminate countertop that I keep in excellent condition and do lots
of
cooking.

please reread. a marble countertop would be a disaster. it will absorb
everything spilled on it. i don't know about you, but when i cook, i tend to
get things on the countertop. laminate is completely different. it's
plastic, as is corian.

ymmv.

Why would anyone want Corian when they can have marble for about the
same
price???

who in their right mind would want marble as a kitchen countertop? it'll
look nice, until you cook the first meal. if you're just taking pictures
of
kitchens, it's a good product.

I am in the process choosing new countertops. I checked the local
kitchen sales place and they were promoting staron over corian.
The
price of staron seems to be 25% less than corian but as for other
features does anyone have ideas on it? If corian and staron
matched
one to one then I might have to go with staron for its price.

You should also check the real thing. Last time I checked, I
could
buy granite in multiple colors for less than corian. There is a
place
that sells is just across the border in Canada and they will cut
it
and deliver and install it.

OK, Larry. Spill the beans. How can I find those guys in Canada?
