Haha, don't forget the classic combo of the $10k Caesarstone countertop plus half a dozen blunt knives.

LOL yes, thank you. People might argue somehow the appliance makes them cook better but the countertops and cabinetry is a pretty tough sell.

Every time I look at my 30 year old kitchen & bathrooms, and tally up what it would cost to update them, I can't help but think I'd rather just retire a bit earlier.

Yes things need to be replaced as they break, and ultimately some renovation will be needed.. but I know people gutting 10-15 year old kitchens & baths purely for aesthetics every time they move. Full employment for tradesmen.

Is Caesarstone nice?

Yes, but more important is that it is trendy and differentiated from similar options such as granite.
