Customer Reviews for Silestone 2 in. x 4 in. Quartz Countertop Sample in Alpina White

Love the Sienna Ridge countertops! They look very nice with our Jackson maple/praline cabinets and dark bronze handles. The countertops are not too light and not too dark-perfect!

I would not recommend this product. We noticed a small crack directly after installation and contacted Silestone and they nothing to fix the issue. We didn't place any hot items on the counter nor did we put anything heavy on the counter. It was directly after install that the crack appeared. Well now, the crack is growing. Please be careful using this company a small crack will get larger and Silestone and Home Depot will do nothing to assist you. We spent several thousands of dollars having Home Depot professionally install this product only to have it deteriorate shortly after.

My wife and I selected Silestone Sienna Ridge for our countertop upgrade. Selecting a countertop material and color can be very subjective. Both granite and quartz have their advantages and disadvantages. While we are not "messy" cooks, I knew I did not want to have a material that was prone to stains etc nor the associated maintenance. The fabricator/installer that HD contracted with was top notch. They were able to fabricate both the island and L shaped countertops without seams. The Sienna Ridge color matches well with our cabinets and black stainless appliances. Overall, gorgeous counter tops that add some "pop" to kitchen.

If possible, view the material before it is fabricated. The Sienna Ridge sample we got and our finished countertop are very different. The sample looks like small bits of tan, brown and grey that resemble pebbles you might see in nature - very pretty. In reality, there are also much larger, (and rather fake-looking) splotches of black, mustard and mud brown. In fact, we ended up with a big black splotch almost 2" long and 3/4" wide right in the middle of our island. BTW, the Silestone warranty explicitly states that it "does not cover variances in color, shade, particle structure or gloss level," so we will get to look at that splotch every day. There also seems to be a lot more contrast between the blobs of color, so the overall effect is more garish and less muted than we expected from the sample. The material itself will probably be great, we still think quartz is the way to go, that's why we gave it 3 stars. We just wish we had seen the slab beforehand, we probably would have picked something else.

We are very happy with this color countertop & feel the people at Home Depot & the installers were very helpful & friendly. I highly reccomend them.

Would have liked the sample to be a bit bigger. Really like the granite tho

We purchased this quartz countertop from Home Depot several years ago. It looks amazing with our white kitchen cabinets & Benjamin Moore’s Stone Hearth paint. The countertop has held up exceptionally well & looks every bit as beautiful now as it did when it was installed. Plus it is literally zero maintenance. No sealing required; it does not stain; and you can set hot pans directly on it. I’d give it 100 stars if I could.

sample was so little, it was hard to tell if it was a match to what we wanted to match.

I loved this sample. Looks exactly like it does on-line.

The sample is over priced for the small size you receive. Not big enough to help make design decisions. But this material and color are absolutely great!

Great sample for the countertop.

Didn't read the small print to see size. Too small to assist with color selections.

This sample is no bigger than the samples given out in the stores. I recommend visiting your local Home Depot and asking for samples. However, the sample itself was in good shape and as specified.

I originally wanted granite but I couldn't fine one I liked and I went to many warehouses. Then I looked at the quartz. I wasn't sure which one to get and I finally chose Alpina White. It was the perfect decision for me. I chose quartz because there is far less work than with granite. I love it, so happy with the choice.

I purchased this countertop paired with Bright White Kitchen Cabinets w/jet black hardware, dark walnut wood flooring, and a black, gray-blue, and brown mesh tile backsplash. It pulled together so fabulously. Most importantly I don't believed I ever loved a countertop material more and I did natural granite in the past. I would choose a quartz composite (here brand-name "Silestone") over granite every time!

We purchased this silestone quartz for our countertops, island and backsplash paying close to $5,500 and it was installed Jan 2015. In the spring, when the sun was shining more in through the north facing window we noticed multiple scratches on the counter . We contacted Klein countertops, the installer, as they had already replaced a section that had deep, obvious scratching before they placed the backsplash. Klein attempted to fill and buff but it doesn't look any different. Klein Countertops, Home Depot, Cosingtino denied any culpability in this issue and denied the claim. SO buyer beware of this expensive scratched countertop. I willl never spend another dollar at Home Depot

Very pleased with quality and installation of product. Highly recommend.

Choosing the color was the hardest part of this project. Every one involved provided great service, including sales lady preparing the quotes, the scheduling person as well as the installers. Install was quick and clean. It was two weeks from order to finished install.

I used the sample I ordered to help shop for tiles for my back splash. I was surprised how small the sample was for the price. The store didn't have a sample for me to check out which I would have preferred.
