There is a lot of misinformation about porcelainsintered stone and while I did somewhat have the same concerns after reading about these newer materials I can confidently tell you that much of what is said about it is simply not true . Notably with porcelain slab countertops which mine are DEKTON . Consumer Reports showed that it cracked when the others did not . While I don ' t dispute their results , these new materials do require special care during the cutting and transport they also have a specific installation process . Having had granite and quartz countertops in the past , I feel porcelain is a better product for countertops . Only issue is variety , slabsize and price . <| sep |> Pretty shit . He found me at my lowest . Which is pretty much all the time now
