Thank you so much for the advice. I believe I will be going with the Cambria :)

I have Cambria Canterbury with my Hickory cabinets, and I just love it!! It blends beautifully with the wood, and is the easiest thing I've ever had to maintain. And Costa Bella is right--not all quartz is created equal. Cambria is American made--a plus IMHO.

Yay papillon2! I'm so glad to hear it looks good with hickory since that is what I am using. What did you do for a backsplash?

Our backsplash is a 6 x 6 beige tile with a matte finish, placed on the diagonal. It works well.

Perfect...I'll see if I can find something that will work!

According to Consumer Reports, all the brands of engineered stone perform similarly.

I considered Cambria Bradshaw and Viateta Symphony for my bathroom countertops. Both look very similar. A contractor friend recommended the Cambria because of warranty and quality issues, so we went with the Cambria. We are very pleased!

we went with Cambria because it is made in USA. Cost more but we were willing to pay it to have an American made product.

Viatera is made in Atlanta.

I just read some complaints about Viatera... some people are seeing a milky look and streaks on the surface. These complaints started back in 2014 and 2015. Does any one know if the quality has improved or has anyone experienced this more recently? Thank you, Denise

I'm looking for more recent information about Viatera quartz countertops. Has the quality and customer service improved, or is this still a product to be avoided? We're in the planning stages of a kitchen renovation and would appreciate any input regarding quartz brands.

I have had my Viatera counters in now for nearly 2 years. They look brand new. Zero issues. I love them.

UPDATE: CAMBRIA does NOT honor their Warranty if it is UV (that is Light) damage.

We have Cambria counters in our new bathroom and they are beautiful! I can't wait to replace our kitchen counters next!

Installe Viatera kitchen countertops 5 years ago and have had no issues. They still look like new. Love them.

We purchased LG Viatera just about a year ago for a very busy kitchen and couldn’t be happier! Love the quality and design. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase it again.

I would not recommend Cambria. Huge variations between showroom samples, website images and slabs for fabrication. Product ordered compared to product delivered look completely different and corporate was no help with a resolution.

We just had a slab of Viatera installed in our kitchen. We have Silestone on our island and cambria in our guest bath. There is no comparing Viatera with the others. It is a very poor product. Hazy finish and edges that show that the marble veining slurry doesn't penetrate into the slab so we have marbled top with solid white edges. Terrible, terrible quality product and worse yet the installer and Hausy will not stand behind them. There is a reason I never pay in full up front and I'm so glad I didn't this time.

Cambria because they stand behind their product. Viatera let us down cold. There's a reason I don't pay up front for big ticket items. This one hurt. Hausy/Viatera did get $3000 from us but they will not get the balance. Without even looking at it they dismissed us. Hazy finish on the top and marble veining that does not carry around the edge so top is marbled and edge solid white. Looks fake!

There is virtually no difference between these two brands, although they want you to believe there is. Each is 66% quartz and 33% resin.

Of course you may get a varying finish for varying reasons, however, it's highly unlikely the manufacturer's fault. Fabricator/installer error, customer abuse, and manufacturer defect, in that order of likelihood.
