I would disagree though about engineered stone vs. granite, however. A lot of the 'look' in engineered stone, such as Cambria, has a lot to do with color. I agree that some colors have a much more artificial look, but many of the better colors are very hard to tell apart from Granite. Ironically, some of the more artificial engineered stone colors look a lot more like Icestone! It all just depends on what you are going for in terms of style.

Available in seven colors, Urbanslabs™ coordinate with a variety of décor themes.
