My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Richlite/ paperstone similar durability for dining table?

13 years ago
Hi. Can anyone with experience with these type products give me any feedback on how they would be as a dining table? Last time I looked at them, they scuffed easily like a pair of leather shoes. They didnt seem practical, but it appears some people use them as countertops, so they cant be that bad.... I understand some people like the worn look, but I'm not one of them. If it matters, I'd be looking for a light (off white) color.

Is there a way to "seal" them?

Thanks, Karen
