I have a countertop with laminate sheeting and I'm trying to decide between replacing it with a post form laminate countertop or just replacing the sheeting with a new color. I understand with the post-form countertops that a 45-degree seam has to be made in the corners. So I was wondering how noticeable is this corner seam? If anyone has pictures of what it looks like, please let me see.

If its noticeable then I'll probably go with replacing the sheets.

When done correctly, the seam will look fine and be mostly overlooked - a lot of kitchens have them and no one gives it a second thought. It does, however, add to the compexity of the job. If you feel capable, go with whatever you like the best.
