I would go with Iconic White.

what did you decide on? I am on the SAME page!!!

Iconic white all the way. Nice crisp, clean look. Love the way it turned out.

How are you liking your choices so far? I'm remodeling our kitchen and trying to make the same decision. Who made your cabinets? We are going with Wellborn in bright white and when I held zeus extreme up, it looked a little darker. The showroom didn't have an example of iconic white. Also considering maybe a darker countertop or light grey cabinet to offset, but need to decide ASAP. Just curious what you thought of your all-white choices now that you've lived with it for a few months. Thank you!

I love my white counter tops!! Iconic white is pure white!! BUT definitely a good idea to do a different color cabinet.. SO hard to find a cabinet, or sink as white as the counter.. IF I were to change anything, I'd just do the base cabinets black, and maybe a dark sink? but it still looks great!!

Did anyone get the iconic white with the suede finish? Caesarstone says their honed finish requires extra maintenance. Silestone doesn't say that, but I don't know if that's because it doesn't, or they just don't want to advertise that fact. And then Silestone Iconic White has "N-boost," which is supposed to be more stain resistant, but I'd like some proof before I commit. I do not want to have to worry about grease stains or wipe up water droplets every time. I have a 9 year old and pets and am just not that organized or ocd. But we really want a pure white (we have dark cabinets) and would love to get a suede/honed/matte finish if we can be sure it will stay clean without too much extra effort. Otherwise, we will probably go with something like Silestone white storm in the polished finish, which should be easier to clean (and cheaper!). Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Jill what did you end up choosing?

I used Silestone Iconic White countertops over the walnut base cabinets in my kitchen. It is the purest white you will find and looks fabulous with my upper high gloss white cabinets - even though the countertop is actually brighter than the upper cabinets. Definitely a great choice if you want an “Instagram Worthy” looking kitchen! The reflective nature of my high gloss white uppers minimizes the difference in the whites. There are some flecks here and there though in my Iconic White countertop - looks like a few ground black pepper flakes embedded in the slab used to fabricate my countertops. With the purest white even the best seam lines are also extremely noticeable. Fortunately my fabricator minimized the seams to just two small ones at the sink, but I can still see them from across the room. The installer didn’t caulk as well as I would have liked, so maybe with some extra effort on my part I can get the seams less noticeable. There was some chipping along the seams as well, which doesn’t help. I placed several White Zeus Extreme sample chips on top of my new Iconic White countertop and couldn’t tell a difference in the shade - the White Zeus Extreme was still whiter than my upper cabinets - so it would also have been a good color choice. I have read a great number of horror stories about Silestone, esp. White/lighter colors, staining and chipping even with the utmost of care, unfortunately only after making a $7k purchase for my kitchen remodel. While those stories may be extreme cases and not representative of the majority of purchases, those stories have me quite afraid to use my newly renovated kitchen. I will only use plain water and a soft microfiber cloth to clean - nothing else - and will not set anything down on my countertops that isn’t on a soft cloth or towel - and pray for the best. Fortunately I have a workstation sink to help minimize use of my countertop. Although I absolutely love the look, I won’t be purchasing Silestone again though - it’s just not the right choice for my comfort level and lifestyle.

We went all white with Iconic White countertops, love ours!

I agree with donna_steinebach on the chipping. Completely different color but 5 years ago we installed Silestone Iconic Black in our existing kitchen. While the seams look great and are hardly visible, the countertop chips constantly. I have lightweight porcelain plates and if you hit the countertop with the plate, the top chips. I'm now looking for a white quartz countertop for a new build kitchen. While I love the white of Silestone Iconic White I'm very hesitant to purchase it.

@abbygail1205 - This is great info. I am looking for a MATTE finish quartz for my laundry room. We wash the dog there, etc. I had not heard of chipping and that is making think I may just go with Corian. I know it's not in vogue, but there is not much difference in look if going with matte plain white. It's bullet proof and may be my best choice, AND it's a laundry room.
