bump, hoping someone has a photo of the Himalayan moon quartz. I paid for it today, however I am on the fence if it is the right choice.

I'm also waiting on mine. I'm pairing it with the off-white Grimslov cabinets. The installers took a template last Friday, and they told me 10 days or so until installation, so we'll see. I also loved the "movement" look of the sample, and hopefully it's not too much at a bigger scale. I'll post a photo when it's installed.

It looks beautiful, I can't wait to get mine now! I like your choice of backsplash. I'm still undecided on that one.

The last one is a good transition between the countertop and the cabinets I think, with the beige, off white and the cool metal. I agree that cleaning the aluminum will be a bit of a challenge.

We finally got our Himalayan Moon countertop installed. The Ikea contracted installers were great.

I took this photo right after the installers left; I was in love lol

The kitchen is functional but there's no backsplash yet. I've ordered weathered wood planks, so when they arrive we'll see how we like them as a backsplash.

I can see you're also a weekend DYI warrior lol.

The tiles look beautiful, wow, what a difference a backsplash makes...

Shaidous, where did you get your backsplash? It is beautiful

Shadious- That backsplash is really interesting and eye catching!

I'm actually so grateful you started this post. I am about to order Bodbyn with Himalayan Moon and was trying to decide on a sink. I started googling around and came across this post! I really want a black granite sink but I couldn't commit until I saw your cabinets with handles above the quartz and near the stove. I think it will work really well! Super psyched!! We are planning on ordering the faglavyk handles in black.

Thank you for posting these pictures and all the great comments. I am interested in ordering the Himalayan moon quartz with the white IKEA cabinets. I have a very small kitchen and just need about 31 square feet ( in a condo). No window and wood floor similar to the pictures. I am wondering if the Himalayan Moon made the kitchen darker? feel smaller? too busy? Also, what color did you paint the wall? Thank you!

Just chiming in to say we also just had Himalayan moon installed with IKEA bodbyn (off white) and a Domsjo in a fairly small kitchen, about 27sqft of counter in our townhouse. With the lighter cabs, the counter really sings and does not make the room feel smaller whatsoever! It actually opened the room up considerably. We haven't completed under cab lighting, painting and backsplash yet but are planning to keep both fairly simple to continue to showcase the beautiful counters.

We had the Himalayan moon Quartz countertop installed last week!! It’s not exactly what I was expecting! I was thinking it would be more taupe brownish grey, but it comes across as much much more grey! The countertop company IKEA works with here, wouldn’t answer any questions concerning the Himalayan moon, so ordering this was really a stab in the dark! There is quite a bit more variation in this quartz then you might think, so just know that going in!! Like for instance, lots of Random black rivers running through it. I really do like it, I just thought the taupe brown would show up more. We also opted to go without backsplashes, to do tile instead. We had pre-paid for back splashes, so the company agreed to do three windowsills instead! Matching quartz windowsills are a really nice touch! These photos are taken of a not yet completed kitchen, so please excuse the mess!!

I had the Himilayan Moon installed last month and it was VERY dissimilar to the sample I ordered off of. The sample only had a couple of very slight brown spots but my real piece had them all over and it overpowered the dark streaks that I loved. Of my 60 square feet that were installed, there was not one single section that was representative of the sample I chose it off of. I was extremely disappointed to this fact. Caesarstone was very slow in responding to the compliant that was filed and were not very customer service oriented. Tip 1) Be sure to view the actual pice that you will receive to ensure it's what you're looking for. 2) Explore other quartz providers before committing to Caesarstone.

Sample I bought off of:

What I actually received:

We purchased black IKEA cabinets this last weekend during their . We went with the Himalayan moon quartz also. Although, we were able to see an actual kitchen at our store with the Himalayan moon counters. (Will attach picture.)

Cabinets get delivered tomorrow. How hard was assembling your kitchens? I saw a blog post that was a few years old on pinterest. It was more than a little discouraging.

we were going to get Atlantic Salt for our countertop, but now we saw the Himalayan Moon and decided it might be better for us instead. My question is, I want to do medium gray walls. Do you think this countertop will suit gray walls? We are using med dark brown cabinets. Like the black streaks in it because it will look nice with the island which is going to be black. But really want a countertop with gray.

the island countertop is black, not the actual cabinet (for claification)

What are the dominate colors in Himalayan Moon Quartz?

Overall it looks more grey than anything!! The taupe brown doesn’t show up much. See photos in comment above.

Thanks for your reply and photos, Ingrid. This makes me very skeptical of ordering this Himalayan Moon.

Does this have a warm or cool undertone? Thank you.

Shelley it's really in between which is why I think I like it. Our walls are Sherwin Williams shitake which are also in the middle, like a "greige" and I feel this countertop pulls that spectrum in well.
