Re: Caesarstone, Marble or Granite

Honed White carrera or Statuary all the way. It ages, develops a patina, and becomes part of your home. After a few years you'll love the smooth finish that using it creates. Seal it well but don't worry about the minor spills or scratches. This material has been used for some side walks in Italy for 600 years. Some of the most beautiful works of art in history are carved from this material.

On the other hand, Ceasarstone is completely monolithic in form and character. It offers nothing to a living space but its utility as a counter and a consistent color palette. It would work perfectly as a counter in a cafeteria in a school or prison where they are prevalent.

In the end you have to live with your decision, so pick something that you love now, not something that you have to learn to love.
