Hi guys,
I am looking for granite for my kitchen top. I came across a granite which i really like. However according to the sales person, its a man made granite (made in china). I am a bit skeptical about the quality. Has anyone here used it before? Thanks in advance notworthy.gif

I think it is a solid surface hard top. Quit commonly use in the market now. Good quality one come from Korea or Germany.

There are man-made granite and there are solid surface top. The two of them are not the same.

Now, I'm not an expert here, but I would venture to say that man-made granite is not as durable as granite.
I've never seen a broken granite top before, but I've seen broken man-made granite before.
But then again, I think it is more than enough to withstand a normal kitchen use.
