It doesn’t look like marble. Quartz never looks like marble if a person has any clue what they are looking at.



Agree. We had Carsarstone in our bathroom and it stained worse than our marble in the kitchen. I don’t see the point of not just getting marble.

The white quartzites are soft. Some places will label them soft quartzite and some won’t. It sucks. We steered clear.

Yes! Like a restaurant kitchen.


Not in style but timeless. And very durable.

I've never heard of this but I am intrigues. Where does one get stainless steel counter tops installed?

There is almost nothing you can do that is timeless, and it is almost impossible to predict which things will be in or out of style in 5-10 years. Just get what you like and avoid the super-trendy.
