Anyone take advantage of Corian Special Offer?

10 years ago

Corian has a special offer that ends today. Has anyone gotten this and if so, how much did it end up saving you?

I'm the one who painted her countertops a few weeks ago with the chalkboard paint to see if I wanted the soapstone look (which I thought I wanted for almost 2 years now!). After living with the dark countertops now, I don't think I do want dark in my small kitchen.

Thanks to you guys I went and looked at the new Corian yesterday, and have to take back all my old thoughts on disliking it! The new colors are very pretty. I came home with two samples, Witch Hazel and Jasmine. Heck, they even feel good!

I've seen everyones pictures of the Witch Hazel. Anyone use Jasmine and have a picture? Does it look darker than the small sample?

Getting excited now!

I did. I ordered all 70 sq feet of countertop from Home Depot. I got Witch Hazel which is typically $69/sq ft and I got it for $59/sq ft. Saved us approximately $700. The fine print at Home Depot indicated something like "save up to $400" but they applied the lower price to the whole order. We aren't quite ready for templating yet but the fabricator said to just call when we're ready...they didn't have a time frame on it at all.

I love, love, love so many of the new Corian colors. We are just not "rock" people so when my hubby convinced me to look at Corian, I fell head over heels!

Edited to add: I don't know if you're aware of it or not but you can order a larger sample directly from Corian. It's a 10x10 size and it really helped me decide.

I'll have to wait for the next deal. :)

When we put it in our current kitchen, we received a free sink. That was a $400 some dollar savings.

We are closing the first week of May on our new house. The current counter tops are faux wood laminate.. Blech!

I love the feel of Corian. I find myself rubbing it for no reason. Lol..

Man i would, but I'm in South Carolina. I really think I could care for it. we have a large open free range area. NO Roo's and so far no problem with predators and a very protective little dog that thinks its her job to look after all our pets. Its true I have practically no experience with chickens until we got these four last summer. but I feed them really well and they get lots of care and attention. Its too bad you couldn't mail her??

Does Kohler always take forever to special order?

I ordered a Kohler Artifacts faucet for my bathroom sink on 4/21/21. It shipped via FEDEX on 6/9/21. On 6/11 FedEx informed Kohler that it was lost. Kohler would not file a claim with FedEx and told me they'd just place a new order for the faucet which was now on backorder and wouldn't ship until mid-August. So, I tried to file a claim myself in hopes of locating it before mid-August. FedEx wouldn't accept my claim request. They said it had to be filed by the shipper. Kohler refused to file. Mid-August came and went.....nothing. Then Kohler said mid-September. I got an email this week saying the faucet is now on backorder until "sometime in October".

Anyone who has hired a design firm, how long did it take?
Q
Comments (37)
Hi akchicago! I totally agree with everyone that I don't want to use this particular designer (or both as I was assigned to a team) for my project as it's obvious she has no excitement about it or interest in it. I'd like to first speak with the owner about being reassigned to a new team who would love to take on the job. The reason I say this, is because as a hairstylist, I'm typically the one in the salon that is given the disgruntled client (from other hairstylists), or color/haircut corrections. I absolutely love the challenge. I understand when clients don't receive the service they deserve, I am very good with empathizing, and it's so fulfilling to me to go above and beyond to get the job done and make the client happy. It really makes me feel good to put a smile on that client's face and for them to LOVE their hair! I'd like to give the owner the chance to perhaps approach my situation in the same way. As far as the cabinet maker, I'm sticking with him. He did my sister's kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room cabinets, as well as two of her friend's homes. The workmanship and service was absolutely excellent in all of them. They're all beyond pleased. The price is excellent, he's a smaller company. I'm going with the same style cabinetry as my sister, in a different color. My sister did tell me that the cabinet maker prefers a French country style, and the ideas he drew up for her (from a design perspective) weren't her style at all. She and I have the same style. I totally understand what you're saying though!! And I really appreciate your concern :) I'm not of the same mindset that if the cabinet maker can't come up with a good design, he's not a good cabinet maker. I had a contractor finish my basement. He drew up a design for it. It was awful! I actually ended up designing it myself (that's the one space that worked out for me when going it alone haha!) and it turned out amazing. His workmanship was excellent, his design skills...not so much :) Besides just layout, I have a door pantry I wanted to turn into a Butler's pantry, if it would even look right. I'd like a designer to do that so it flows with the rest of my space :) I did try to do a drawing and post it on here quite awhile ago. Obviously I don't know what I'm doing because I guess I drew two elevations on the same picture. Half the kitchen was as if you're looking down on it, and the other part was looking at it head on. No one could understand it haha! :) The drawing thing is not my forte lol ;)

Medicare Advantage pros and cons
Q

NYC retirees had a brief respite when the retirees group filed lawsuits which challenged several aspects of the implementation of the original MA plan with Anthem, a for profit division of BS/BS and due to judgements against NYC, the original plan was dropped. However, in recent weeks, the new mayor, Eric Adams, who had claimed he was against the idea of MAPs, suddenly sided with several of the unions who were pushing for the MAP. Although the concept of unions not siding with their retirees is abhorrent to most of us, that is the current situation. . (There seem to be some funny money financial issues which are pitting the unions against the retirees; if anyone is really interested in how this all developed, I,d be happy to fill you in) Another company, Aetna, has come up with a new MAP proposal. Supposedly this one has fewer pre auths required (for now) and it's supposed to be what they call an extended service area to expand use outside of the NYC area, However, many of the out of state retirees are finding out their current medical facilities and doctors do not accept this plan. And, to make this new situation even worse, is that with the earlier proposal, a retiree had the option of remaining with original medicare and their current supplement, for an additional fee. The current proposal is sort of ’my way or the highway’ in that there is no option for staying with our original Medicare and city provided supplement, one would have to opt out of city coverage completely and find their own supplement, at not group rates. Since Mayor Adams just signed the MAP contract this past week, a new retirees group lawsuit has been filed. Wish us luck. I've actually seen the results of an unwanted switch to a MAP personally, My cousin, a retired teacher from Maryland with some recent serious medical issues, currently living in NYC, was recently switched to a Maryland MAP. She was injured last week and found that 2 of her doctors would no longer accept her MAP, and she needed a hand doctor for her injury. she had to call over 10 hand doctors to find one to take her MAP. Unfortunately, this seems to be where many mucipalities are heading for Medicare retirees, but a change is in the air for active workers as well as to the type of plans offered.

Granite is the woman at the dance with the stilettos and the seam in her hose.

Corian is wearing the flats.

Ha! Well, I've never worn or owned any stilettos, so I guess it makes no sense for me to try to now! Guess that's why I've taken 2 years to think about it. The stiletto ladies probably don't power wash their own home either! A guy wanted $750 then $550 to do my small house. That goes a long way on Corian!

$700 is a good savings! And I'm sorry about the faux wood laminate...sounds like my basement which also has faux brick, red plaid carpet and dark green wavy plastic glass on the cabinet fronts. It must have been a swingin 70's hangout back in the day!

HAHAHA...Trebuchet, that characterization of granite vs Corian fits me to a "T". I am the jeans and sweatshirt kinda girl who would rather sit around a campfire and drink beer than go to a dance anyway...but if I do need to walk my "barn" boots as I call them will take me much farther than those stilettos!! Thanks for the good laugh!

I wear flats and non-stiletto heels. They allow me to be spicy in other ways. Our Corian did the exact same thing for our kitchen.

Hey everyone,
I started a page on this website called, "Corian Countertop -Show your pics!" I'm hoping to gather corian/solid surface pics there to help those with an interest in corian.

http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0215032828120.html

It would be great to see pics of all of your countertops there, once installed.

To those who are still looking, there are several pics posted there that you may find helpful.
