IMO quartz is a poor choice for counters and I would suggest you look at white granites instead. I have no clue why plastic counters are the go to when there are so many beautiful natural stones .

I have nothing against a man made product. If that’s what you like, then go for it. The sample you have in the picture looks nice (at least on my monitor) with the rest of your choices.

I think Calacatta Prado will look beautiful in your kitchen! l love it! That remark about plastic counters was very uncalled for!

Quck google:

Well I certainly don’t want a poor quality product, but at the same time, I can’t find a natural stone with the look and durability I want 🤷🏻‍♀️ Any other quartz that look more realisitic or better quality that anyone recommends??

Exactly. If you like the look, that is allntgat matters.

I have Silestone in my kitchen and master bath in Florida. I have granite in my up north home. Two different looks.

If the Prado was available where Imwas looking, i might have gone in that direction.

I love warm beige tones.

I currently have granite in my kitchen and that is the entire reason I started remodeling that room. In my opinion "plastic" quartz is much more beautiful as well as practical for a kitchen that has frequent drips and spills.

@Amber Marshall have you installed PRADO? is the background white or warm white?

We ended up going with one that is very similar calles Valentin. It’s a warm white and I’m VERY happy with it!

@Amber Marshall Are you able to share? We are between Valentin and Prado and just saw you were as well!

Please get a sample of Natural Calcutta Stone and play with it. Stain it with spaghetti sauce and olive oil. Cut with a knife. I understand it is a very soft stone and not recommended for kitchen countertops. This is the reason people go for Silestone and quartz, granite and a harder stone. Pick the brains at your local stone yard.
