We were sold in Torquey until I brought home the 12x12 sample. In our house it pulled off our lighting and floors and appeared more “peach” in the undertones. The Cambria rep said that is common. We have red oak floors in Jacobean stain and white dove cabinets. While Swanbridge is a cooler white, it stayed more white and did pull colors from around the kitchen if that makes sense. We are also co side ring Hanstone Montauk which is very similar to Swanbridge.

We have polished Organic White countertops. We also get subtle metal marks that won't come out. These counters are just a few months old. No one else would notice it, but I certainly do. I would recommend getting a sample of the quartz you are considering and testing it yourself. Maybe we're just unlucky? Although, the number of websites that say "quartz doesn't stain" seem to be equalled by the number of websites that say "here's how to get stains out of your quartz". We haven't tried Magic Eraser and it is somewhat discouraged since it is abrasive, but we may try that next.

For anyone still considering Cambria Lakedale, we just had ours installed and I love it. We chose a matte finish which is a much softer look. Our fabricators, Wave Granite and Marble, were easy to work with and allowed us a lot of input on the design layout. The installers were careful and precise, and even moved a large piece of quartz which had already been mounted, because we thought it needed to be adjusted. All in all, they did a fantastic job, and I couldn't be happier with their work. I wanted to wait until our cabinets were painted (TruCustom Cabinets, also great) to post pictures, because the black really makes the color in the quartz stand out. The pictures still don't do justice, though. Anyway, hope this helps anyone considering this design.

Parisa...Yes! I love them. When we first got them, I searched the best ways to clean the very rare stains (like when rubbing alcohol hit the orange ink on my Hawaiian rolls and dissolved it into liquid orange stains), and didn't see Magic Erasers among the recommendations. I've used rubbing alcohol (good solvent) to clean it, and when necessary, added baking soda or liquid Bar Keepers Friend, whichever was handier. Never had a stain they didn't remove--sharpie, fruit, ORANGE INK! lol No damage to the finish. They look stunning, and have more subtleties than show in the pictures. They are a dream, very easy care and very easy cleaning. I do find that plated food cools fast on them, which is also true of granite and real marble bc of their density (and high specific heat capacity, for the science nerds, haha). I'm so glad I didn't go for granite a few years ago and be stuck with the looks that I'm now tired of. Marble is not only timeless, but always gorgeous. We get wowed compliments on it, too.
