I replaced my tired old top with a nice sand colored piece of granite. I removed the stove, replaced it with a convection/micro and two burner cooktop. Rotated the sink 90* so the large bowl is toward the center of the coach and undermounted the sink just like home. Mounted the faucet on the granite. Gives a lot of work space between the cooktop and sink. I didn't worry about the weight as the difference between the granlte and particle board isn't all that much. The stone is attached to the cabinet using polyurthane glue so if you stop fast enough to break loose the top you probably hit a rock face and have other issues.
Just what I did.

My old formica counter top is shot.

Thinking about putting is a piece of marble or granite
as I can get left overs for free.

Outside of the extra weight what might I consider?


Have any of you put in stone?
