should not be a problem getting a shop that specializes in countertops to fabricate one from solid surface material. while CORIAN was the original many companies now manufacture solid surface material. I have solid surface in my S&B. I like it for a number of reasons, one of the most important to me is that the countertop and the sink can be fabricated as an integral unit....no need for a separate sink makes cleaning easy and no gunk because there are no seams...they can also incorporate a backslash so what you end up with is one solid piece countertop-sink-backsplash
