Quartz is also ugly and dated, so.


I’d love to know the materials you’d put in your kitchen.


Quartzite counters.


... that look exactly the same, but cost more. Congrats.

My second house has them in the kitchen. I like them there because it is a modern mountain house. Around here, houses are more traditional, so I would worry about resale. But if that is not a concern for you and you like the look, go for it!

I don't like them, personally. And I very much agree about them marking a 2020 era kitchen. It's going to be the avocado/harvest gold appliance of our time.

The stone ones are nice. Very modern looking, the rest of your kitchen/home should be able to fit that style.

You think this one specific and not huge thing is going to be equivalent to the sad 1970s kitchen colors? Well okay then.

I agree. I stay away from any design feature that is shown on HGTV more than 10 times a day.

We have them for a large island and we love it. Much better than the wood look. We got them because we wanted them and not for resale as we will be living here for at least another 15-20 years.

This isn't true. Real stone is richer. I haven't seen a Quartz yet that I couldn't tell was manufactured. Certainly they are better than in the early years, but still, if someone can afford quartzite and can find a slab they like it will make a difference in the look of the kitchen.

To me, a quartz waterfall countertop will look like a flip. Why use an inexpensive material for an expensive look.

The original intent was to show "more" of the expensive stone running down the side. Just as a solid slab backsplash showed greater expense in the design.

I don’t love them but agree with the person who said if you like them, do it!

It has got to be on the way out. So trendy & screamingly dateable.

I already think they look dated (even tv home improvement shows have been featuring for several years, and they are always a beat behind on trends).

If you can't tell the difference between quartz and natural stone, you've never seen natural stone.

+1 Pretentious dolt that wants to spend more on something more difficult to maintain because its 'different'. Will it have a very subtle enhanced aesthetic due to being natural stone? Sure. Will it be unique because of the presence of natural imperfections and other natural materials? Sure. Will anyone notice or care besides you? Likely not. Will it be worth all the additional maintenance? Definitely not. I'm going to guess in a lineup of 10 slabs (excluding the tragic quartz tops with too many glass inclusions), you'll guess 6 or 7 correctly. So if one looks dated, the other will too.
