Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 May 10, 2011 10:56 am Hi everyone, I wanted to have a timber benchtop in the kitchen and laundry but the maintenance issue puts me off. So I thought perhaps a Laminex benchtop in a wood lookalike would suffice. Does anyone have one of these wood lookalike Laminex benchtops in their house? Are you happy with the look of it? Does it look tacky?
