[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Granite is over. I would go with Silestone, soapstone, or the recycled countertops.[/quote]

To most of you who think this, you are very out of touch with reality.  Granite is considered the standard "upgrade" for middle-class to upper-middle class housing.  It is consider the base surface for the low end rich.  Yes, all of the surfaces discussed from the man-made materials to marble, to stainless steel, concrete, etc are considered additional upgrades, but in reality, only about 10-20% of the housing market really looks to those surfaces.  75% of the population is quite happy with granite and it will be a long time before granite goes completely out of style.  Designers may be past it, but they are in the business of changing styles and so granite is not in their lexicons.  But, believe me, granite is still the standard and it will take much longer before granite is really out of style except for the ultra-trendy.  This from my mother who has been a multi-million-dollar real estate saleswoman for 30 years.  [/quote]
