    Tile countertops. Our house came with them and they are terrible. Who the fuck thought of these?

        I do also hate granite countertops. They are ugly! I do keep one granite slab top cart because the cool surface is great for working pastry or chocolate.

        Best countertop we ever encountered in a rental was that Corian stuff, I’m sure it terrible for the environment but it was seamless and wonderful. Second place the old old old Formica counters in my old house. Those I could clean with bleach and they survived more than 70 years, so tough.

      Can you elaborate on what about them sucks so bad? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen them in real life.

          Grout is impossible to clean, kitchens ought not have so many seams to hold bacteria; they also inexplicably had a painted surface that is coming off now. They are so hard they can break a glass if you set it down too hard, and they can themselves also crack.
