Dianne, I have quartz (not Caesarstone, they were out of my choice at the time) in my bathroom; looks new 2 years later. Online, you will find many cons or negatives about most any product you are considering buying. I wouldn't let that hinder you, as that's usually the minority. Caesarstone has a warranty. I will be buying either London Grey or Organic White in the next two weeks for my kitchen reno, but I love real marble. This is a happy compromise. Check with the company you are buying and ask if they've had any issues with Caesarstone. I asked the appliance company about Thermador vs. Viking and they gave me their opinion based on what they service the least. Good luck!

KM did you order samples of various quartzes to look at with a sample of your cabinet door in your space with your lighting? It often looks different at home than it does in a store or the warehouse as their lighting tends to be fluorescent so things don't look the same. I'm not sure I would love a countertop that's whiter than my cabinets either so I understand your concern. It's also important to remember that when you're picking trim paint colors to pick a creamy white that looks good with your cabinets so that all the whites compliment each other. Good luck and post some pics when you're done!

Thanks farmhousebound and raee! Of the 3 new ones, I'm leaning towards the FC - one reason being, I need a countertop for my guestbath vanity* and there would be enough left from the kitchen to do the vanity top. But I am wondering if it looks to creamy against the white of the cabinets. I do want to warm up the ktichen a little as my cabs lean more towards a crisp white. No one has commented that doesn't look good with the cab white so maybe it's ok. I'm having such a hard time picturing the white/white with the rest of the space. Ugh! (*I really like Organic White better for the guest bath, but I am also try to save some $, and thinking FC would suffice.) Otherwise, it'll probably be Raven.

I think there's enough contrast between those grays in the 1st pic, but really depends on the look you are going for and what your backsplash, paint, and hardware will look like. Any ideas about those? I actually really love the Frosty Carrina. I did not consider it until late in the game because I thought it was a little bland based on the sample, but when I saw the full slab, I changed my mind.
