    Most reconstituted/engineered stone is basically the same product in terms of wear and durability. The main difference is the colours and finishes available; with the more expensive suppliers pioneering different finishes and having faux stone finishes that look more realistic. The key factor to a good outcome is a good installer. So pick the colour you like the best as they are all pretty much the same.

    I'd choose Quantum over the others any day. Chinese made products known to be a cheaper/weaker material with multiple issues. I would agree that the choice of stonemason and installer is supper important.

    Old post. and note engineered stone with silica are being banned in Australia and after 30june 2024 are not permitted to be installed in Victoria at all if containing any silica. Some states have transition periods for pre-contracted work after that date
