Originally posted by expatI had a speckled-look worktop (not granite) once. It covered up practically anything. Had to run my hand over it to check if it needed cleaning. You could lose your dinner on it if you took your eyes off it.
Just my opinion, it's not written in stone.
Yeah thats what I dont like about them - I like Kitchen worktops to be clean, and with granite you just cant tell if they are.
I'm not a fan.

I went for the oak work surface in the end as my wife is a caterer and we really use the kitchen, and the granite stuff looks good but will not the stand the obuse of a producing for 200.
The wood work surface can be sanded down and re-oiled when it starts to look tired, you can't do this with granate.
You can also sand out the knife marks which are inevitable if you use the kitchen.
Put I would say that granite looks great.
Are you retarded MonkeyBoy? Or is all that w4nking affecting your eyesight?

Also grantie should always be nice and cool to the touch, which I personally quite like. I'm sure the wife would be telling me we need it heated after a couple of weeks though

So you spend a fortune on granite and you can't cut on it, can't put pans on it and spend the rest of your life being frightened to use it in case you scratch it.
Be better with £50 worth of granite-look chipboard.
