You are very welcome! I am not aware of any man made material (quartz) that mimics this stone. It's hard to find anything with as much depth as a true quartzite. It is pretty pricey, however, it is as strong if not stronger than most granites. It's a very dense material. It holds up well to heat. You will not have a problem with stains as long as you seal it with a deep penetrating stone sealer. I would recommend Miracle 511 Porous plus sealer. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!

what color is the bottom cabinets? Paint brand, color preferably. And can this be hand painted instead of removed and spray painted?
