Waterfall countertops

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 tend to agree with this. I also don’t see why you would spend the extra money for the countertop material to do the waterfall when you’re not getting any design or practical benefit. It’s no harder to wipe down a cabinet than a countertop.

Trendy. And I hate trendy.

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.

+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.

I HAVE a matte marble, a quartize and a quartz. They are all identical. The quartize has more quartz "sparkle" so I actually like it a little less. There's a difference in cheap quartz vs expensive quartz and how realistic they look.

Nope. Quartz always looks manufactured and lacks warmth. Even the top brands. It is what it is and people can appreciate it for being inexpensive, simple, bombproof etc but it will never look like a real stone. There are lots of ugly real stones so it isn’t a broad stone > quartz thing, but great stone is always > quartz from an aesthetic standpoint.

Who cares if it would look dated if you love them?

It’s not functionally practical. My island seats four, has a microwave and deep storage cabinet and three drawers. If you have the space and like it, go for it.

Lovely but trendy.
If you plan to be there a while -don’t do it

I love them.

[Anonymous]

They are functional

The poors hate them cause they can't afford it

I only think they look good in modern homes with huge kitchens with huge islands.

Hideous. Don’t do it.

I completely understand where you're coming from. <a href="https://www.caesarstoneus.com/blog/waterfall-countertop-everything-you-need-to-know/">Waterfall countertops</a> can be a stunning addition to a kitchen, but I agree that the extra cost only sometimes justifies the design impact. As you pointed out, having a waterfall countertop may have few practical benefits. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference and budget. However, it's always essential to research and carefully consider the pros and cons of waterfall countertops before deciding.

It's not a trend it's functional
