@Randi Gold- your kitchen looks great

@tuckeae - will you be able to choose your slab if your dealer doesn't have it in stock? Obvs the pattern on it isn't as strong as some, but there are many posts here where people were not happy with the full slab after seeing the sample. Also something to consider: any seam placement in your layout

We just ordered it for our counters for our new home construction. Will have it installed next month or early Sept. Did you decide to get it?

Is there a showroom within a couple hours drive from you? I know we have been going back & forth between quartz and a natural stone. If we go with quartz, I am going to stick with a brand that has a showroom within 2 hours from us (several brands to choose from, thankfully). There is zero chance that I would be able to make a clear decision judging from a tiny sample & online photos. I'm too visual for that & have no doubt it would come in & be the wrong color tone, or some other annoying thing, that would have been realized had I seen it in person. I would try your best to see some full slabs in person before making a decision. Quartz is not cheap & you don't want to throw money at something & regret your choice later.

We are in Seattle and luckily have a showroom here. I have been 5 times. It is a difficult decision. I keep second-guessing myself even though we already put the deposit down with the fabricator. I do love it.

I second guessed also but you will love it once it is installed

@Randi Gold hi there! we are thinking about calacatta botanica and wondering if you can answer a few questions to help us!! Some pictures we see online the veining is very dark and prominent but your pictures look light and airy which is what we are looking for. Can you describe the veining? Is it a light gray? Thanks so much for you help in advance!

We just had it installed in our new construction kitchen . I will take pics and post this weekend. I would describe it as more light and airy . The Veining does have longlines instead of little squiggles or splotches If that makes any sense. I have several pictures of slabs I saw in person If you want to see those

Slab pics

@seagal13 wow this is perfect thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! So I saw this picture and got really nervous because the veining looks so dark

but yours makes me feel a lot better!

@Ali Taggart, did you end up getting it? I’d love to know how dark the veining truly is. I worry about it, too, after seeing the photo of all the slabs lined up.

Hi Randi! What color did you paint your cabinets? Thanks

Would love an answer re. the cabinet color too! Randi can you advise? Thanks!

Im also considering this quartz. Looking to see if veining is dark or light.. i have silk color cabinets :(
Also, its possible to paint cabinets? Where do i get started with that?

Our painter has done many homes' cabinets. They use a semi-gloss and it looks great. Just not sure how long-lasting it will be. (We will probably sell in 5 years.). The veining on the Botanica is pretty light. The older version of it - when it was made in China - was much darker.

@Randi Gold, what color is your wall paint, please?

Is the Calacatta Botanica set against a white background or  does it have a creamy feel?

@mcapozella did you order these countertops yet? i want to order them since they were the lightest in my budget. if so can i see some pics? i want to get this quartz for all my bathrooms and laundry room

this material often can match with light color of cabinets, that with great performance. especially, the large slabs size also in big 340/190cm now.
