I put High Definition laminate in my kitchen. I have a large 6 x 8 island and had the corners trimmed with a rounded edge. It is the first thing people comment on in my new kitchen - Is this marble? It cost about 1/3 what granite or quartz would have but is as beautiful. It has a finish on it that is extremely durable. I may not want the same countertop 15 years from now and having the laminate will allow a change if I wish.
