I recently bought an Edwardian cabinet to put upstairs. I measured the doors, space for it to go into thought it'd work so bought it... but hit a snag on getting it around the first of 2 corners (and that's the easier corner). Is there any advice on what to do? The unit is beautiful workmanship...

We're looking to replace our wooden kitchen sink worktop surround with a solid surface. Stone seems pricey to cut and fit but Max-top, a manufactured quartz worktop, keeps coming up but I can't find any reviews. It claims to be easy to install but has anyone used it and have any thoughts to share?
