[quote=Anonymous]Granite countertops are barely 30 years old. They can't classify as timeless.

Wood is probably the most timeless of all countertops given that wood countertops were used in kitchens going back hundreds of years, although prior to the 1920s that really meant kitchen tables and hutches, as no one had built in cabinetry for kitchens, only pantries. Second to this would be marble, but marble was historically the preserve of wealthy kitchens.

Lamanite is the most reliable bang for the buck countertop and will last decades without a problem.

Countertops are vastly overrated. Lamanite does the job just as well at a fraction of the price. Anything more than that is vanity. I knew this when we ordered countertops for our kitchen. We have beautiful cherry countertops for the island and most of the kitchen, and concrete look Corian for other areas. I didn't like most quartz, which looks like plastic marble to me, real concrete is very heavy, granite is too busy, and surprise, Corian had exactly what I wanted. There's a reason why Corian is very popular for hospitals and commercial settings.

End of the day, get the countertops you like and can afford.
