They are true conversation pieces and the production process was fascinating . I highly recommend Evolution Glass ! **Comment from Evolution Glass LLC:** > Thanks Paul! Glad you are enjoying the tables and they can be a part of the beautiful setting you have for the Knight's Gambit tasting room and vineyard! **★★★★★ — Ann Pontius, June 2017** > Our recycled glass countertop is everything we hoped for - it is beautiful in every light condition, day and night. It is a real conversation piece as well, as Bill used our own bottles and jars very creatively to make the countertop. He was very easy to work with, and ensured the installation was done to perfection. We applaud his efforts to use 100% recycled materials. Anyone designing a new build or remodel would be well served using Evolution Glass to add some distinctive character to the design and feel good about recycling in a creative manner. **Comment from Evolution Glass LLC:** > Thanks Anne! I appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you and an honor for our glass to be included in your spectacular home. **★★★★★ — Donna Norkus, April 2017** > With more than a little trepidation we contracted with Evolution Glass LLC to produce a recycled glass countertop, sight unseen, based on pictures we viewed on the Internet. The product is new, the company located over 700 miles away, and we were making decisions without designer assistance on a DIY lake house renovation. > > The process began with reviewing sample colors received by mail, followed by much consultation and exchange of pictures. Evolution Glass found a local installer capable of working with this unique material and coordinated the efforts of creation, fabrication, delivery and installation. All individuals involved in the project were courteous, efficient and knowledgeable and each seemed to take pride in the work. > > After months of anticipation, all came together in a most beautiful way. We have the pleasure of knowing we utilized recycled materials in our stunningly beautiful and unique kitchen. We couldn't be more pleased with the result. **Comment from Evolution Glass LLC:** > Thanks Donna. It was a pleasure to work with you and Bill. We appreciate your kind comments and feel honored that you chose Evolution Glass for your home. **★★★★★ — janetevergreen, Jan. 2016** > We needed a bigger table top where our lamp had been balanced on our music systems woofer. This was perfect, beautiful, happy making, environmentally right. **Comment from Evolution Glass LLC:** > Thanks for your review, Janet.

Made from 100% recycled glass. www.evolutionglassglobal.com/our-surfaces **Q: What will be the next purchase for your home?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Excluding grocery items, what is the next thing you plan to buy for your home? I keep a running list of things the house needs and a new lamp and side table for our family room are currently topping the list. You? Tell us! (photos encouraged) A: How about a side table made from 100% recycled bottle glass? **Q: Kitchen remodel** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are buying a house that has Baltic Brown granite (or granite like) counters and I hate them. I would rather have marble or even butcher block, but a total remodel is not in the budget right now. I am planning on starting with painting the cabinets and changing out the hardware. Eventually, I would like to make the area where the sink and dishwasher are into a true island that opens up to the adjoining room and put a banquette and table in that room. So a few questions: How hard is it to replace granite countertops with butcher block? Any other suggestions? How hard/expensive would it be to go ahead and make that sink area into a real island? Backsplash ideas if I have to stick with the baltic brown granite? A: Our 100% recycled bottle glass countertops are stronger than marble but comparable to granite except they're beautiful! Let us know if you have questions? http://www.evolutionglassglobal.com/our-surfaces/ --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-26.*
