****Company has resolved the problem by cleaning the stains and discovering an effective method to clean in the future. THANK YOU! ***company is currently working with me to resolve this July 2019*** will update accordingly **December 2019 still no resolution Had the Michelangelo quartz installed. It's white and it naturally develops surface stains due to its color. I originally gave 1 star for poor customer service upon calling to complain basically being told to deal with it by hiring our own restorer. The company has since moved on from that employee and has worked with us to resolve the issue.

This place is utterly ridiculous and customer service, sales person, management and the owner definitely dropped the ball on this one and there acknowledgement of this situation is way past poor. I spent $4000.00 on some nice looking Granite countertops and $2000.00 on some nice marble window seals n within months the Granite countertops begun to fade very bad and the Marble window seals arrived to my home scratched n bruised and was still installed without my knowing so I called the EXOTIC MARBLE GLENVIEW STORE several times to finally reach someone with the promise of someone was gonna come out n look@the fading but to no avail no one came out then finally spoke with the owner n another promise was giving for someone to come out but not excuted then they all around stop answering or returning my calls I'm very dissapointed with this companys SALES REP, MANAGEMENT and the OWNER! #suchtotalripoff
