I have some samples here from the WilsonArt company from Lowe's -same as Formica. I have never had any other kind of countertop, but I like Formica. I may the one person who doesn't want granite. I couldn't find any laminate I liked at Home Depot. I'll look again because it's local and Lowe's is 50 miles away which complicates purchases that won't fit in my car.
Keep warm,everyone.
