Pictures would be useful...

Hi Nellyderek, it sounds like exciting times at your place! I think that either of these Caesarstone products would be suitable, the question is really which do you prefer? The wider vein of the Calcatta or the finer but darker vein of the Statuario - for me it's the Statuario Novo. Let us know what you decide

Thanks for your preference. What do you think about Statuario Maximus? Is the base possibly to grey for the new antique white cabinetry?

If you are worried about too much grey, check out some other stone companies. IMO there are other companies out there doing faux marble much better than Caesarstone. To me, the caesarstone looked grainy and too grey.

Thanks Mel. We made our decision. Will have a light grey island bench with 6cm edges an the antique white L-shape existing kitchen with a 2cm bench. All covered in statuario maximus. Thanks again for your opinion.
