Has anyone had any experience with or heard if Mid-City Granite in BR does good work?

Any other suggestions?

Quartz....... Oh sorry they was last week. I think this week is diamond impregnate glass. And next week it will be meteorite only, but I'm holding out for Obama blessed aggot which will be the fad next month.

Butchers block.

It's not even a question what is the better quality.

Soapstone is the right choice

Granite is still a great option.

I don't do design or trends, but as far as a countertop that is completely indestructible, granite is your best (and probably only) option. It doesn't require any sealing (you can seal it if you want), you can put a hot pan down on it without damaging it. Clean it with abrasive pads, cut on it if you don't like your knives much.

I have had granite in several houses and wouldn't have anything else.

Specifically speaking, I haven't worked with Mid City.

This.


A friend had butcher block and not only does it get knicked up, it stains and doesnt clean as well.

Granite, or some other rock that doesnt need sealing is the best option.

How is granite the only option for this?

I agree. People thinking they need to jump on every latest trend in interior house design all the time is trashier than most things, including a lot of houses with granite countertops.
