[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Browsing endless options for quartz counters.  Drawn toward the faux Carrara, and looking for patterns to google/obsess over.  Thanks![/quote]

Get quartzite, not quartz.  Quartz looks and is, cheap.   Wish we did this, now every time I see my counters I want to take hammer to them. [/quote]

I would prefer a natural stone, but I find quartzite too busy.  Marble and soapstone are too high maintenance.  Haven't seen any granite that I like, either. Which leads me back to quartz.  [/quote]

You have to be very careful with quartzite - often times it isn't actually quartzite but marble and so you don't have the benefits of the harder stone.

The issue with quartz is that many varieties of it look incredibly fake. Don't get those. Find one with very subtle patterns or more of a solid and it'll look great.

And it is very very durable! When we were selecting our counters, we picked up sample pieces of everything we were considering and abused the hell out of them. Cut things on them, left red wine, oil, water glasses, etc. Do that and you'll come to the same conclusion that we did - quartz all the way.[/quote]

Which quartz did you pick?[/quote]

I’m one of the MSI Calacatta Monaco folks from above. Couldn’t be happier with our selection. Used other subtle quartz counters throughout our house too. If we had done marble like our builder wanted, it would’ve driven us nuts. The piece of mind knowing we can use and abuse our counters is worth it. I don’t have to worry about something as simple as a child leaving a water glass overnight. [/quote]
