I share your interest, as I've been searching high and low for photos of a Cambria from the same collection (Windermere). Because these 'colors' were released this winter, there are not many installed photos out there. I hope someone can help you. I have seen 12X6 samples of the Cambrian Collection, and I think that they are all beautiful. Is Waterford the one that has an occasional blue sparkle amidst black/gray? If so, I remember it as being quite stunning. All cambria is the same price. A bonus! I've found it to be the same price as a mid-grade granite and less than all other quartzs. I love it and can't wait to have it installed in a few weeks (Windermere).

Hi- We love our Cambria Somerset and have not had any problems of any kind with it. No scratches, chipping, dings, huge resin blobs.... It is absolutely beautiful and was the best choice for us because of it's ease of care, resiliency and the Somerset was the perfect compliment to the sandstone wall we have on one side of the kitchen. Good luck!

I haven't used them for anything - that's my problem, that I don't know anything about the quality of their work. My experience has been their relentless hard sell, which was a huge turnoff for me. Just from the initial phone call I see that their goal is drum up as much business from me as they can. I kept telling her that all I need is a countertop in the bathroom, and she wants to know what work I might need in the kitchen. They are Cambria certified, and what I like about going through Costco is that it's Costco that (I believe) would stand behind their product. But I'm also going to get a quote from a local cabinet shop that's been around for ages and has a good reputation. If the price difference isn't enormous, I'll probably go with the local guys.

I have a quartz top as well. I am a very messy cook. Not issues with spills even oils. Easy clean up with soap and water. I don't use any harsh chemicals either. I do keep a silicone mat under my toaster oven because I read that it is better to be safe than sorry. When I do put something in the crock pot, I usually put it on a pizza stone on top of my stove ( old habit from when I had laminate tops ). As far as resin pooling. That is often part of the pattern. If it is something bigger or a bit obnoxious, they may be able to cut around it. Always ask to see your slabs with the template mapped out on it so there is no surprise. Of course if you can see the slabs in person, that is helpful - what might bother some people might not bother you... There was a discussion once about Brittanica - shown here in a full slab There were complaints about white and grey spots throughout the design when the full tops were put in - shown here in a close up ( arrows only show a few ) That is a part of the design! Good luck!
