While amusing, Sophie's comment is satire. Engineered stone is all the same stuff, especially the Breton, no matter what the manufactures say.

Here's the kitchen we have that I posted a few years back. MSI Quartz Carrarra Grigio has held up really really well. Cleans easily, no stains, no fuss. We just use a damp cloth, and clean up with an all purpose cleaner. Once in a while, maybe some diluted bleach. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/3576931/ikea-sektion-reveal 

“Today, Chinese quartz represents approximately 50% of the market. The factories in China were innovators in many different types of quartz looks, including the most popular looks in the market today such as Carrara, Calacatta and other white marble quartz looks." Rupesh Shah of MSI "“On the other hand, as for ourselves, we worked with some of the top-quality suppliers and producers in China,” Cohen continued. “They were reasonably priced in the market. The most expensive in China, but their quality was one of the top from any quartz I have seen around the world. There was good product out of China and it’s sad to see they will lose that opportunity. Also, the public could benefit from those companies. There were some really beautiful products coming out of there that people can’t get now." Evan Cohen of Quality Marble & Granite located in Ontario, CA. More here.

I have 27 years of industry experience, including managing a showroom and stone fabrication shop. I also moderate many industry groups, who deal with issues from multiple industry aspects. The common denominator issue that will defeat fabricator skill every time is poor quality materials. As I said, that can happen from multiple respected sources, to the cheapest of sources. But, it more often happens with the no name cheap sources. When it does, there is no assistance or recourse for the fabricator other than for them to eat it. This is why those with good reputations, who deal with this hands on every day, with their names on it, tend to not choose the no name brands. There are plenty of reputable brands made from Georgia to the Carolinas to Canada. Lower transport costs and more accountability are big factors in choosing manufacturer partners.
