I would love to see a picture of the turquoise counter tops the OP currently has! They sound super cool.
I have formica which I'm probably going to replace in the next few years. Only because it was improperly manufactured by a carpenter and the formica keeps separating from the base. I've been spot gluing it back for years. But now it's coming apart in spots that will be very difficult to fix.
I'm planning to get formica again.
Sad thing is, I love the color and I'll probably get something similar.
