Hi everyone,

sorry, we're still going through our process of shopping for stuff, so really at a loss in terms of costing.

I do like baking and an ID we visited recommended granite worktop. Just like to find out in terms of solid surface vs granite tops, how much difference is it - cost wise?

i do agree i'd like granite top, but i don't want to end up splurging too excessively. Appreciate any info if any! Thanks =)

Hi, anybody know how to calculate length for U shape Kitchen cabinet Solid Surface, say each

side is 10 ft length. My contractor charging me 30 ft. I guess it should be less may be

30ft - 2 * (width of the the work area). If anybody know can please help me, thanks.

He should deduct x ft for the overlapping portion. Can't remember the exact length but definitely shouldn't be 30 ft.

Did you install Blum soft closing for all drawers and doors for your kitchen cabinets? It's like $100+ per runner right? Was it in your kitchen cabinet quotation package or you got to top-up to get the Blum?
