That is some nice work. Be sure to save that sample as your first. It can go in the Smithsonian someday. I would pick the Vetrazzo myself also. |

Lipstick on a pig, can't disguse that its still a pig  .. All those "green" products are overpriced. Guess being "Green" means the company makes more green in the form of $$$ |

This is the case with everything though. Remember when Corian sinks were over $1000? Law of supply and demand. |

They had good reason to be over $1,000, failure rate was about 90%  |

We had, maybe, a 5% failure rate on the Fountainhead KO2O sink. I would be surprised if we have had a total of 10 Corian failures since we have been in business.
The first Corian sink I sold was $1,450. I could barely get the words out of my mouth. We were paying over $1,100 for the sink.
