GenStone vs Tritan

"From a distance it looks really nice, but it's flawed when you get up close"

-Amy

This focus group was assembled for the purpose of comparing and contrasting different faux stone producers. Some of the criteria to judge each product was appearance, material, and installation process. Not a single person on this focus group was hand-picked. Every individual had not heard or seen any of the products used. These are their personal, authentic opinions.
