    Kitchen Worktops

    I think the earthstone is similar to the old Capri worktop - we had this and it was great, we had it in the black option and fitted ourselves. You could sand it and treat it with oil, although not shiny it had a nice satin finish. I would have bought it again if it was available, however due...
