I see a hardwood floor? It is yours? Why tile?

And I would stay far from any of the concrete in Caesarstone.

The first and most important issue in any kitchen reno, is your layout. Meaning appliances, cabinetry, all.

Note: You can't "sample" Taj Mahal, you have to select the actual slab/s, but with hardwood floor it would be my preference long before any quartz.

i don't have hardwood in the kitchen, so i need to stay with tiles, it would be too expensive to put in hardwood, complicated. I do have a sample of taj mahal, it's a broken piece that the stone yard gave me. anyway, i still do want to put in the conrete look, depite what i've read. i left tumeric and wine on the small piece of quartz overnight, and nothing stained it. So i am still looking for suggestions as to the color of primordia. thank you.

I need a ton more info and you need to name the spamples on the pic. IMO quartz is always my last choice for counters so whay not look for a real stone with a bit of the color from the floor there are probably 100s .I like the floor but to try to match it IMO will lead to disaster . If you insist on quartz then the same as the stone look for one that has a bit of the floor color in it.

The large piece is taj majal, the smaller piece is caesarstone primordia. Both are on top of the floor tile. Obviously i know the sample won't be exactly like the slab, that's ok, this is just a preliminary search for advice on Primordia. I 'm looking for answers from anyone with experience with Primordia since caesarstone does not have showrooms with slabs in the US. Silestone does, Caesarstone does not. If you know otherwise then let me know. I'm in NYC. The floor is already bought, so i must match it with the counter. People do that all the time. The question above is whether primordia would go with a brown floor, or whether it's too grey. its impossible to tell from a sample, and they have no showrooms in the US, so one must buy their counters based on small samples, or if you're lucky enough to find a display of what you want in a showroom but i haven't seen this one in a showroom kitchen. TY

I found larger Caesarstone samples at a kitchen design shop (they sell semi-custom cabinets). I’m in California, so I don’t think that helps you specifically, but you may be able to find someone local with bigger samples. Good luck!

Thank you so much. I actually found a slab gallery in NJ. So o was able to view it. Just opened.

Sorry but IMO a down grade to go quartz instead of real stone.

Did you end up going with the Primordia? If so, can you please share a pic?

I did end up finding a Caesar stone showroom in NJ that had just opened. It had full slabs of everything and samples too. I loved primordia, but I ended up going with a granite called Brazilian granite. Kitchen still in progress, has been a disaster due to an incompetent contractor. I hired someone else a few weeks ago to finish the job.

Carlybrown, there's a huge Caesarstone showroom in Fairfield, NJ where you can see large slabs of it. Hope that helps!
