Having installed solid surface tops, the install is EVERYTHING. Absolutely whatever you do, do not trust Home Depot or Lowes to install them. Their subs are the cheapest money can buy, you will not be pleased. You may save up front, but will pay long term.

I am glad to hear that your in-laws have good luck with Corian. I just have seen in in other places and it does not seem to hold up as well as the more stone like products.
Nothing is worse than those 4x4 tiles the builders use. Lots of seams and most do not use an epoxy grout.
Also, installation is everything on these produts. this is not a place to get a second rate installer.
