Is Cambria worth it?

Is Cambria worth of investment? Or other brands like Ceaserstone, Silestone or Hanstone are just fine?


Has anyone gotten Cambria through Costco?

    It is all preference. In my opinion, there is no quality difference between Cambria and most of the other brands like MSI, Vicostone, LG, Silestone, Hanstone, etc. They all have similar colors as well. But, you could like one color and design more than another. That could be Cambria. They are pricier than the others because of their name. Some people disagree and say that Cambria is a better quality e-stone. I don't see a difference. Fabrication is the same. Finish is the same. Only color is the variable. It's completely up to you.


    In my area up north, there is a large price difference between MSI and Cambria. That may not be true in other regions.

      New countertops are not an "investment." It might seem that way, considering how much the e-stone costs, but it's actually an expense. Only you can decide if the premium e-stone is worth the price. I used Silestone in my bathroom. I paid a premium price, because nothing else gave me the look I wanted. That was over 5 years ago, tho. These days there are so many look-a-likes on the market. Is there a particular Cambria pattern that you like? Perhaps there is a lower cost option that will give you the look you desire.

      I was asking if Cambria is better than other brands, in terms of durability and longevity. I am looking for something white with gray veins, something like Cambria Brittanicca.

      All the big names you mentioned use the same Breton technology to manufacture their stones. Have you done a search for past discussions?

      It’s made in America so you don’t have to worry that it’s “Chinese Crapola” as Sophie would say. That’s one of the main reasons we got it for our kitchen. Plus I liked the patterns.

      I just did my kitchen in Cambria Ella and my bathroom in MSI. I couldn't see any difference in process; cost was the main difference. They both look awesome; but Cambria didn't have the look that the MSI had and other mfgs didn't have the look of Ella so it was a style choice mainly.

      @Margaret, how different was the cost b/w Cambria and MSI?

      Cambria is consistent with their pricing in my shop. All their colors are 1 of 2 price points.

      It is generally the same as every other company out there.

      They do have a lifetime warranty which is nice...

      @newproject858. The MSI was $85 a square foot and it was only for s 72" vanity. It was the color, mainly... and now I can't remember the name- bright white with little mirror sparklies. Cambria had something similar, but with waaaaay to many sparklies, and color was too gray. Our kitchen had much more surface, plus a 7' island with waterfall edges and a 15" overhang for seating (we are tall, wanted additional knee space). The island alone was the price of a small car! I would never have gone with the Cambria because of our budget, I would have found a 2nd choice, BUT Costco has Cambria as their quartz so it brought the price down considerably and was just a bit more than MSI and Pental. Ultimately came in at about $100 sq ft.

      I am a fabricator. All the brands made on Breton machinery have essentially the same material properties. I tell my customers to pick the look they like. Cambria continues to spend vast amounts on marketing in an attempt to prop up their premium pricing strategy. Today, in a far more competitive market, there is no reason to pay a substantial premium for a given brand unless it's for a color that is uniquely suited to your project.

      @margaret, I thought MSI was the cheapest and your pricing came out to be in the same range as Ceaserstone! Was your Costco pricing $100/sf after their 10% gift card deal?

      @oldryder, they say non-cambria contains less quartz and more fillers and they aren’t made in the US. Despite of those, would you still say the quality is still similar?

      all quartz brands and even colors within the brands will range from 7% - 10% + resin

      One thing that has been brought up here in the past is complaints about "resin blobs" in Cambria slabs, and that Cambria doesn't consider such blobs to be defects. If you really love the Cambria color/pattern, try to convince your fabricator that you need to see the uncut slab for approval before moving ahead. There are other comments, but here are 2. Great estone, but just beware.

      I’m late to this but...Suzanne is right. I recently had Cambria Britannica installed in my kitchen. It has numerous white resin deposits. A Cambria tech was sent out to repair them but couldn’t do anything and told me it took Cambria a long time to realize that the deposits can’t be fixed. We saw the slab before installation but didn’t notice that issue at the time. The deposits do not diminish the overall look but do look like “defects” to me.
