You’re building your dream home or renovating your current home to reflect your personality and elegant sense of style — and dreaming of a beautiful, classic marble countertop.

Marble countertops have been in vogue for generations and often feature prominently in home-décor magazines. But what might surprise you is that many of the “marble” countertops you see in magazine spreads or on Pinterest aren’t really marble at all, but a marble lookalike: white quartz countertops.

Marble-look quartz is old news; it’s been available for many years. But today’s contemporary quartz countertop patterns from MSI are better than ever — realistic, durable, easy-care, and an excellent value.
