Quartz tables with a bit of shimmer, bring glamour to any home that is looking for a classy image. Quartz is also very resistant to spills which could cause stains on other materials like wood. Therefore the maintenance costs are extremely low. The benefit of this material is that it’s made in slab forms, which can be sized and shaped to your liking. This makes quartz tables highly customizable. The surface can be smooth and polished such as for an executive boardroom table or, it can be coarse and dry to prevent spilled liquid from spreading or things falling off so easily. Quartz is also lighter compared with its marble counterpart. It can even be lighter than some wood, so it’s also a practical choice for a home or office.
