I saw a thread from a few years ago on the subject of laminate kitchen
worktops and how gloss finish compares to textured finish for wear and
tear (marking, cuts / scratches etc). The concensus seemed to be that
the textured finish was a safer bet.

Now I'm faced with the same choice and wonder if anything has changed
in the last few years? Are there any gloss finished laminates that are
tough enough to be be considered? I'm sure there are a myriad of
manufacturers of laminate kitchen worktops, so are there any
particularly recommended?

Thanks
