    I always think its a little unfair to put a blanket statement on something just because its from a certain country. Ive worked with excellent quality Chinese quartz several times, some that have that gorgeous cambria look too...with that said, Check what kind of warranty it comes with, for NSF, IAF or SGS certifications. Good companies will match up across the board with cambria or caesarstone. There are two main machines that quartz is made on, cambria is made on "Bretton technology" machines..many of the Chinese ones are as well..just literally made in a different part of the world so more affordable labor/material.

    A lot of quartz brands are smaller names, think of them as "mom and pop shops"...just check all the details and warranties! :)

      As Sophie would say "cheapchinesecrap". I would avoid this product as you will have no recourse should it fail.

      I find it is at a lower price point than that of American made like Cambria...but you get what you pay for! I've found that you don't get the depth of color and texture like you would with that of Cambria.

      NOT true. None of the OG's with real street cred manufacture in China. America, Spain, Israel, and Korea, yup. Not China. They also use real Breton technology. Not suspect knockoff technology.

      I just can't support those products. The licensed machine technology may be the same but I'm not convinced that the raw materials being used are under sufficient quality control audits. Also, the energy source being used to produce the raw materials and finished products are generated primarily by coal. Seems to undermine some of the environmentally friendly claims. There are also potential lost jobs in North America and less money circulated back into our economy.

      One of the reasons we chose Cambria for our kitchen is the fact that it is American made. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of the product. Good luck with your material choices.

      Sophie Wheeler and Kitchen Abode...this is why the certifications and specs are important.

      Sophie, at some point I can not keep arguing with you, we can just advise home owners as pros about different things...blanket statements like yours however are not very helpful. Certifications are verified not through the Chinese companies but with NSF/ IAF/SGS themselves thus not being able to fake documents as you mentioned.

      Please Chinese products have been coming to NA with fake credentials for ages and BTW just try to get them to honour a warranty, I have actually dealt with them for other stuff besides quartz and never again no matter how much money I save.

      Patricia this may be true of some companies but not all. I have been importing natural stone from quarries for decades and am constantly around the Quartz circuit (US, Canada, Isreal, even China) and not everything can fall into this category. It's important for a consumer to research is all I'm trying to explain.

      i buy Caesarstone (Israel), LG (Korea) and Cambria (us) as well as smaller brands from China. I have needed to only use the warranty once and had no trouble.

      As a comment on the "documentation" concerns out of China, we have had several bids from Chinese companies (for flooring and a few other things). A few (not all) have asked if we required any "stickers" added to them. Like CSA standards or anything like that. They have excellent print technology and they can put ANY documentation sticker on any product we need/want. Yah...we walked away - rather quickly I might add.

      It happens over and over and over again. Independent lab results from a 3rd party (like a known German Testing Facility) is what we look for. Because I speak German, I get to call Cologne Germany to VERIFY the document then sent us was what was tested. So far so good. They seem to have figured out that some documents can't be faked...but stickers are NO PROBLEM.

      We've dealt with the higher end of the Chinese market for several years. They have done their due diligence (and so have we...we have enough "other" languages to check documentation from multiple countries).

      The higher-end Asian manufacturers also have EXPENSIVE operating costs which makes their products close to the same price as the European made products. They can't undercut European/N. American prices if they have higher operating costs.

      Where we benefit is the cost of SHIPPING those products directly to a N. American port that happens to be 30km down the road from our warehouse. Shipping costs are HALF of what they are out of Europe. This is where we have benefited from working with high-end Chinese manufacturers.

      Cancork this is very helpful! And again checking directly with the NSF helps too! :) I agree to not just go by stickers and always check the third party status

      The issue for us now are the tariffs, making the pricepoint higher and ETA longer...
