Love the matte counter top, is it durable, where can I find it
Live In Los Angel-es, what companies sell? Would you suggest that this material will look attractive as a floating counter top or would that method take away from the impact? Thanks A lot!

    That looks like a honed black granite, or possibly slate. Typically available from stone fabricators generally speaking.

    Thanks SO Much . How is this different from paper stone or the Richie type products that are matte finish ( sandstone?)

    the counters are indeed richlite "black diamond"
    (sorry for the delay in responding, for some reason I never received notice of this question before today)

    In my opinion the Richlite countertops do not stand up to family use---especially near the sink. We have had ours---a matte green which I love for 8 years now----the area around the sink immediately discolored--who keeps their sink 100% dry with 4 kids??? No product they ever suggested has helped. I'm disappointed----and about to replace the large slab in my sink area. Folks should know that they are NOT low-maintenance, scratch fairly easily and change color over time--(i.e. different colors if you have applicances on your counter in the same place for awhile---that area will be lighter). I have used a sander to take out minor scratches and then re-finished them with a non-toxic product. I would never use them near a sink again----it was an expensive 'green' choice which did not stand the test of time.
