Pros
Since we’re not looking to replace our countertops with the seasons, there’s nothing better than a lifetime warranty, which Caesarstone offers to residential customers.

Cons
Do your homework: Certain colors in the collection are more recycled than others. The proportion varies from 15 to 40 percent.
