Hijacking your thread because my kitchen countertop is one of the last major decisions I need to make. Anyone have any experience with the newfangled Dekton Ultra Compact surfaces? I'm still probably going to end up with laminate to keep costs down and not be so paranoid about damaging it, but it's always fun to discuss the options. My dad thinks I should pay the extra and get real stone of some kind, so it wouldn't be impossible to be talked into it.

So who's the happiest with their countertop, and how many years into it are you?
