I went wood... And regret it.
If I was doing it again I'd go for that reconstituted stone stuff. It can be stratched but it's pretty resilient - my brother has it in his place.

I'd go for wood as well. It's a practical surface, relatively cheap in the first instance and looks good.
Marble/wood mix can look good but pricey as hell. If I were doing ours again I'd do marble with a butchers block style insert to chop on or stainless steel because it's the most practical surface
The resin ones look nice but again are effing expensive.

There is a house i have looked at recently (to buy) that has a realllllly nice darkish wood worktop with matching splash back. Looks mint. Would recommend. I have a cheap wood worktop that my cleaner stained and now I wan't to repair or replace it but not sure if it's worth the money. Ultimate #firstworldproblem?

We went with Silestone

We preferred the feel/touch compared to Corian, and came in the matt finish we wanted.

Does anyone have general recommendations for kitchen work tops? Spec'ing my new kitchen now. All I've learned from here I think is that wooden tops look nice but are a pain in the arse to maintain. I cook every day and spill stuff on the worktopsn. Currently have a hideous Formica top, but functionally it's great as it's not slippy, handles hot pans, etc.
