Prior to building my own, I looked at the Rockler tops and shyed away from them for two reasons.
1. Specific to the Rockler tops, I didn't like the slots cut for the fences to ride in.
2. General to any pre-made top, the top is cut for a specific route plate (and the router plates and router lift plates are NOT all the same size).
In the case of the Rockler top, you HAVE to buy a Rockler lift. In my case, I didn't care for the Rockler lift I liked another lift and did have the "nerves" to take a router to the $120 top to enlarge the opening.

I looked in the yellow pages and found a shop that custom makes counter tops. They have tons of laminate pieces in all sorts of colors. Any time I want to use some in a project like a router table I stop by and pick something out. They usually charge a couple to a few bucks depending on size.

How is the corain to work with - did you band it with hardwood?
was it a sink cutout - thinking of building one myself.
