My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

MSI Calacatta Monaco - anyone?

4 years ago

Hi all, I just joined Houzz as I am renovating a 5000 sq ft home including a kitchen reno. Anyone use MSI Calacatta Monaco in their kitchen and willing to share pics? I found 2 other helpful Houzz threads asking this question from over a year ago but I wanted to throw it out there again. The slabs are a bit of a distance from me but i did get to see them once. Would you consider MSI Calacatta Monaco to be a "cool" white/grey countertop or does it have some warmth to it in your kitchen? it looks the most real to me, and I've seen a lot of quartz in the past few weeks! It beans any silestone or cambria in "realness" to me.


Also, plz no advice about changing to quartzite as I have already gone through that whole decision and have ultimately landed on quartz for various reasons.

    I used MSI Monaco in my daughter's kitchen and they love it. The veining is very subtle and there is definitely some warmth to it. She was also looking at quartzite but the budget dictated quartz. I think the Monaco is very realistic as fas as quartz goes. Here are some overview photos. I don't have any close-ups but can ask her to send some if you are interested. Good luck!
