Are slate countertops a good idea?

Answer by  Adrian29 (547)

I love the slate counter top look, but they are a bit pricey. We used a slate tile to get the same look at 1/3 of the price and they look fantastic!

They were all the rage for a couple years there, but they are fading out of style. Marble, Granite and Tile have always been in and always will be. I your going to put out the $$ go main stream.

Slate is a very versatile material that is hardy and easy to care for. I think slate is a very good choice because it is not as delicate as other countertop materials and will not stain, crack, or fade like some of the other options out there for you today.
