[aisle] Whiteboard table tops or laminate?

[Jill Tarnowski]

Thanks for the info everyone.  Sounds like we can save some money if we go
with laminate instead of dry erase.
I appreciate your input.

We are considering a company called Creative Business Interiors.  They have
an office in Milwaukee.  The tables we are looking at are made by Mitybilt
(a Canadian company).  The model is the Vitesse  adjustable height flip
top  (height range 22-30").  Our rep is Tracey Bessent.  414. 545.8500 x
136.   tracy.bessent at creativebusinessinteriors.com.   They let us borrow a
laminate table to test it out.   Haven't found out shipping costs yet.
48" x 30"   laminate =$480   dry erase=$500
60" x 30"  laminate =$495    dry erase=$550
72" x 30"  laminate =$520    dry erase=$555
