Lots of poor reviews on NEOLITH.

We've had MSI Arctic White for over 18mos now. I love it. Haven't had any scuffing, scratching, or staining issues. Damp paper towel takes most everything off. I use Clorox Wipes for coffee rings or berry "ghosting" and give it a good general wipe down 2x per week. We looked at a lot of the quartz "marble" looking options, but someone made a comment that the veins either look fake or resemble (leg) spider veins. After hearing that, I can't "unsee" it! ha! The plain white has been a perfect backdrop for adding color and texture elsewhere (grout, wood cutting boards, walls, etc.). I also find that I like seeing exactly how dirty the counter top is (so I can wipe it off)!

We have a similar quartz in our showroom, as well as the employee's kitchen. No one has regretted their choice with it and all I hear is how people like it for the same reasons you do. A lot of quartz has long veins or colors that are almost distracting. Here's an example kitchen on our site, different name but practically the same style as Calacatta Vicenza. Quartz Example As for cleaning the quartz, we use warm water, soap, and just a sponge or rag. If anything ends up sticking to the quartz, don't be afraid to be rough with it. Quartz is very durable and strong. The order of durability for countertops would be Marble, Granite, Quartz, Quartzite. I would just recommend against using the countertop as a cutting board because it will dull the knife and mark the quartz. (You probably already knew this but a lot of people were never told this and make this mistake). Hope this helps! Have a good day :)

Any chance you went with Calacatta Monaco? I’m leaning towards this quartz for my countertops and would love to get an opinion from a homeowner who has it. Thanks!
