Thanks for asking! **Q: What is the countertop?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is Cambria's Canterbury. **Q: Countertop** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the countertop made from? A: This is Cambria, it is an American made quartz product, specifically their design called Bellingham.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for your interest! **Q: Can I use this photo for my blog? thanks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Yes you may, just please add us, Backwoods Designs, in the photo credit and cabinet builder credit.
