And yes, granite seems to be the big thing in desktops now, but---it stains! I don't undertand why in the world you would put something on a manicure table when it is destined to be abused in the manner that we will abuse it. The staining alone was enough to steer me away from it. Although it is beautiful. I got a glass top and I absolutely L O V E it. I had looked at the clear glass ones, but found one that is black glass with glitter-looking stuff embedded in it. It's beautiful, and extremely functional. I've dropped my drill on it and it's fine, although it is possible that it coulld be chipped if it were hit just right. I have used the laminate, and found that with exposure to the chemicals, the finish does lose it''s shine and all. I haven't had that problem, with glass, but this is just my experience. Just another thing to look at. =) On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 8:39 PM, Maggie in Visalia <[email protected]> wrote: So, after 14 years I am seriously designing my next desk. The one I have now has a Formica countertop and it has lasted this long and is still going strong despite years of using it as a palette for both acrylic and acrylic paints, as well as the occassional step stool. (it's a solid desk!) That Formica has proved to be right near indestructible! So, do I stick with Formica? Is it really the best thing? Does anyone have any experience with Corian or other solid laminates as a countertop for a nail desk? Something that stands up to product, abrasives (I've been known to drop the drill before,) acetone-- especially acetone! I've seen some beautiful nail desks being made with granite countertops, but after talking to several countertop-folks I've decided to stay away from anything that requires sealing, as I'd just have to have it resealed periodically and, frankly, I'm not that diligent.
