Kitchen countertops material

My wife actually trained to be a certified Corian installer, but it turned out to be too heavy for her to move around.
(She was formerly a professional laminate and cabinet installer and finish carpenter.)

That said, I find it to be a bit too "institutional" looking for my tastes.

We currently have butcher block Formica. My wife hates it.

I love it and it has actually never gone out of style.

We found (and I pointed out a few times when my wife "failed to notice") that it's considered an "extra cost upgrade" now, and it's often featured "up front" in the show rooms.
It looks like they have some marble looking patterns.
