Sorry but I don't think Totem is in the USA.

If you are doing a small project that you wish to cover in Arborite, Totem takes their damaged sheets and cuts them into 2'x4' pieces which sell for $4.50 each. That works out to $18 for a full sheet as opposed to $63 and change, thats a 72% savings! They also have "discontinued" full sheets for a discount, I didn't check the price.

There might be a cracked edge or broken corner but there seems to be about 3 or more pieces in every color offered. Today I saw about 8 or 10 different colors and/or patterns.

Good luck!

I Goggled Arborite and it appears to be a high pressure laminate similiar to Formica or Wilsonart. neat website animation.

Arborite is the typical counter top covering.

Hope that helps,

Arborite is identical to Formica. Both are brand names.
