I have fabricated several paperstone countertops, and have had good luck. It cuts and tools nicely, and is a nice change from traditional solid surface. Two of the tops that I made were from factory defect pieces. The problem with the first was that it was off the nominal thickness (no problem, but a lot of savings). The second had a bow. This proved to be a problem because i was unable to get it out. (the homeowner had purchased it). I tried bending it with weights and heating up, but the bow always returned. I think its a cool product ,but I would not recommend it for an active kitchen. I scratches more easily than most solid surfaces, and requires more maintence.
