I have sticker shock. Can't believe the price of quartz (and granite). I have narrowed to just quartz tops, though. Won't do Silestone because they add Microban. So what brand is consistent with quality but is less than $55 per sq ft? I am not choosing color yet. I want to start with right manufacturer that fits my budget. I've heard of Belenco and Hanstone as more reasonably priced alternatives but I don't have all the information to make the decision. I may go to IKEA to look at their CeasorStone choices. Would love to hear how I can do quartz on a budget!!!!
