Both comments welcome. I do notice that some of the laminate are thicker while others are thinner. Workmanship can only be checked on delivery.

glossy ones tend to be easily stained.. go for dark colors.. seen white ones turn yellow over time (not my own though).. but really depends on the quality of laminate they use

Look to colour match your house general decor. and also the variation in thickness of laminate plays a part in not as susceptible to formation of bubbles.

you may check with the tank maker the quality of laminating material, some are cheap quality which may not last.

Before getting a tank from a particular tank maker, if u have any bros who got from them before go their home take a look at the workmanship. Ask them how's their satisfaction with the tank, service level n price range
