Those aiming for a picture-perfect kitchen should certainly investigate solid surfacing. Made of solid synthetic or natural materials formed by mixing a mineral compound with polyester and/or acrylic resins, the countertop is smooth and uniform throughout - you can get the look of stone without the seams or potential color variations.

- Because it's solid (the pattern or color runs throughout), chips, dents and scratches can be repaired easily.
- Comes in a variety of colors and finishes ranging from gloss to matte; it can look and feel like stone.
- Flexible enough to form decorative shapes and an integral sink.
- Can be molded into a single seamless piece. If seams are necessary, they're inconspicuous and non-porous, preventing the growth of bacteria.
- A high gloss countertop can be buffed back to its original luster.
