Island Counter

5 years ago

Hello - can you please share the type/name of the material that is used on the Island. It looks like quartzite. If so, do you have any knowledge as to how well it has held up against staining/etching? Thank You

Hi! This is a quartzite called "wicked white". Here is a direct answer from the homeowner..."We have had no issues with staining but have one ring of etching - I think from a margarita:). But you really have to look for it to even notice it." Hope this helps!

Thank you for your prompt response! The counter is beautiful but possibility of etching may steer me away from quartzite. I was hoping it was a truly beautiful quartz.

Casa Stone looks a lot like other quartz countertops to me. Does anyone know how it is different?

5'2" is 62 inches, and our guide to lighting sizing (http://bit.ly/1cuh1Fj) suggests that 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop (not the floor, however) is a good height if you have 8-foot ceilings. So, depending on the height of your table, everything might be okay!

consider resale as well. taller counters mean higher uppers, which would make me (5'2) walk away from buying your house. you could consider a counter section/island of thicker butcher block for prep and chopping that could easily be retrofitted with a normal thickness of granite or quartz in the future. sink grids raise the effective sink bottom by about 3/4 of an inch, i'm wondering if some are taller than that.
