We are doing countertop research (yes another thread!) and came across this site: www.solidsurface.com
Anyone ever use them? Someone had mentioned Meganite to us as a solid surface option that was also easy to work with and install (Cuts can be made with carbide saw blades, etc) Also, the prices look really good.....I did a search here and did not find a single mention of Meganite. So, needless to say, I'm skeptical. We are usually on team Formica for our rentals, but the option of having a solid surface option that wasn't too expensive, sounds pretty good. Any words of wisdom out there?

We use corian and formica regularly at work. Tried Meganite ONCE and will never make that mistake again.
It is cheaper but not as durable. It scratches and chips ridiculously easily so if you were to use it in a rental you'd most likely want to replace it for every new tenant.
I'd say stick with formica and if you really want to bump it up go with corian.
