Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 14, 2014 1:26 pm Hi all, Our builder is offering Delaware stone bench tops and they say it's similar to CS or IS in quality.

Should we take this offer? A bit confused Re: Stone benchtop 3May 14, 2014 2:01 pm I'd take any stone over the laminex any day. AFAIK, engineered stone is engineered stone. CS have an amazing range, and probably more choices at the same price point, which is probably the only real drawback in this scenario.
