It was very neat having the opportunity to pick out my own granite with Granite America. You get to go to their yard and walk over to the exact one you want. Then they come to measure. You get to go back to the yard and pick out the actual pieces of the granite that you want showing on the counter tops! When I walk in my kitchen, I see the patterns and characteristics that I wanted from the bigger slab. You don't get to do that with other companies. It was a great experience that I recommend everybody try.
