(Copied from the "Other" category based on a poster's advice; apologies for the double-post, I'm new to Houzz. Thanks!)

The pictures below show my new installed Cambria Bradshaw countertop. I think the resin pool in three of the photos is a flaw, but the distributor says that this is just a "normal variation". The pool measures about 2x3 inches, and the fourth photo shows a picture of the next biggest "normal variation" which is only 1x1. The distributor is basically saying, "suck it up, it looks like it should"

This is my dream kitchen, and the flaw is really bothering me, especially since it is on the most visible part of the counter. Unfortunately it is also on the very largest countertop piece, which is about 8 feet long, L-shaped, and has a sink in it. It is templated beautifully, and is seamless (love quartz countertops!) and I am nervous about having it ripped up for a new top, but the flaw is really noticeable.

The distributor offered a "discount" and is telling me they will replace this piece for $1000; this does not include what I would have to pay for a plumber to uninstall/reinstall the faucets.

What is really irritating is that I was gone when the countertop was installed. Someone messed up on the scheduling (either the kitchen designer or the installer), and instead of installing it when they were supposed to, they installed it a week later, when I was on vacation, so I could not inspect the counter before installation. However when I came back from vacation this mark was one of the first things I noticed.

I really need advice. Do you think this is a flaw or a "normal variation"? Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone else had luck complaining to Cambria? What should I do???

Thank you very much!
