“I recently upgraded my counters, and after weighing pros and cons of all materials, I settled on quartz. Not only is is durable with almost zero maintenance, you have an array of color options to pick from.”
“I’m very happy with my quartz. Colors are good without being too ‘disco’ or ‘boring’. Not a chip in it after four years, not a stain or a scratch. Nice and cold for rolling pastry — actually, that’s probably the worst aspect: Put your toast down on it for a minute while you get the jam, and you might as well start over. But the heat-distribution quality is also great for defrosting things like a stack of wonton wrappers or a thin steak.”
“I’m all about quartz countertops, we’ve just installed them in our kitchen and they are a wonder to clean. It is true that these days cheap wildly patterned granite (I agree, sometimes they look like straight up barf) are almost universally chosen by developers, this is probably because quartz is more expensive these days.”
“We spent $5K on quartz (I freaking loooove it), where we could have spent about $500 on the same amount of laminate.”
