Don't use Corian!!!!!!!!
I was having a client soak off her prescription nails and she was moving her
fingers around the bowl. I wasn't paying attention. So she sloshed alot of
acetone out. Now I have two 4 inch circles of white. That use to be a georgous
purple speckled purple corian countertop. Ya acetone and corian don't mix well.
I wouldn't recommend it. At least from my personal experience.
Look into Silstone. It has a microban product built into it. I am redoing my
kitchen countertops in it right now. Can't wait til they are in.
Good luck

So, after 14 years I am seriously designing my next desk. The one I have now
has a Formica countertop and it has lasted this long and is still going strong
despite years of using it as a palette for both acrylic and acrylic paints, as
well as the occassional step stool. (it's a solid desk!) That Formica has
proved to be right near indestructible!
So, do I stick with Formica? Is it really the best thing? Does anyone have any
experience with Corian or other solid laminates as a countertop for a nail
desk? Something that stands up to product, abrasives (I've been known to drop
the drill before,) acetone-- especially acetone!
I've seen some beautiful nail desks being made with granite countertops, but
after talking to several countertop-folks I've decided to stay away from
anything that requires sealing, as I'd just have to have it resealed
periodically and, frankly, I'm not that diligent.
