Regardless that is called “concrete", all Caesarstone is quartz which is easy to clean and maintain because it is non-porous there’s no need to seal or wax the surface.

I LOVE Caesarstone. It doesn't require any maintenance other than wiping with a damp cloth.

Judy G Designs:

Unlike most gloss Caesarstone, this particular Caesarstone has a matte finish which makes cleaning and maintaining problematic. Other engineered stone manufacturers have flirted with matte finishes, failed, and pulled them from the marketplace. I don't know if you've ever seen a matte estone finish up close, but it looks like glued-together sand which is what it is. It may be technically nonporous, but glued-together sand attracts fingerprints and dirt like crazy. And wine glass marks.

There was another thread on this recently re: someone's buyer's remorse over this particular product. Matte "leathered" finish; shows water rings and spots. Don't do it.

Thanks guys - that's all rather worrying as I've already ordered it.

Matte Stoneguard will solve all your problems if you install it right away.

Even if there weren’t issues with it, no way would I pick that ugly splotchy not concrete looking fake stone. That promo shot isn’t doing its sales any favors at all. It just looks really bad. And that kitchen is depressing and poorly designed.

How did it turn out???

Rugged concrete don't touch it. Got it and it is beautiful to look at but it is terrible for everyday living. If you have a kitchen that is just to look at go for it but if you want a kitchen surface that you can use every day and wipe down no worries forget it. Stains in two seconds hard to clean and looks like crap within the first week of using. DO NOT TOUCH THIS PRODUCT.

Great look but not easy to maintain

I agree with all the comments above - just got it installed and love the look but it is very difficult to maintain - every water drop shows. I got a quartz product for ease of maintenance and this is not it. The Ceasarstone website recommended Soft Scrub gel with bleach and I have to use that constantly on all the marks.

Feeling very conflicted about it …

Ugly grey kitchen! UGH! The sellers of my home had concrete on a couple of cabinets - took 2 two strong men to get them outside and to a walk-in dumpster with the rest of the things removed from the kitchen & house. They had covered beautiful wood floors with ceramic tile - what were they thinking!?

Anyway stay away from grey!!! And stay away from concrete - you will hate it and it will be expensive and difficult to remove. Go with a mostly white top of some kind and not grey or black anywhere in the house!!!
