pit marks are about 1 to 2 inches long

My experience with Bay Stone Depot was extremely frustrating and disappointing. I purchased two stone slabs for my home, expecting premium quality and service given the price. Within weeks after installation, pit marks and dents began developing on the surface. Over the following months, additional defects continued to appear under normal use. When I reported the issue, Bay Stone initially acknowledged it as a quality concern but directed me to work directly with their supplier rather than handling it themselves. After months of follow-up, the supplier's representative inspected the slabs and offered replacement slabs. I then returned to Bay Stone to request some form of refund instead of replacement, since the cost of uninstalling and reinstalling the slabs makes the replacement offer impractical and financially unreasonable. Bay Stone indicated that a refund might be possible but claimed the supplier required the original slabs to be returned. That was not what I had been told. After I confirmed with the supplier that returning the originals was not required, Bay Stone changed its position. The manager, Kimberley, told me it was "not scientifically possible" for pit marks to develop after installation and suggested I should have identified the issue at delivery. I provided multiple dated photos showing the progression of the defects. After that, my messages went unanswered. What stood out most was the lack of ownership and empathy. Kimberley was not apologetic and did not appear interested in finding a practical resolution. Instead, responsibility was repeatedly shifted, and ultimately, the issue was attributed to me for not raising it at delivery, even though the slabs appeared fine at that time. It felt as though once payment was made, accountability ended. When customers pay premium prices, they expect both quality materials and meaningful support if something goes wrong. In my case, that expectation was not met.

Stay as far away from Bay Stone Depot as you possibly can. This company delivered some of the worst service and workmanship I've ever experienced. The countertop they installed came with a completely botched outlet cut -- so small and crooked that the outlet literally cannot be installed. When I contacted them to fix their own mistake, they didn't apologize, didn't take responsibility, didn't even pretend to care. Instead, they had the nerve to tell me they would charge me extra to correct the problem they created. Their attitude toward customers is unbelievable -- dismissive, unprofessional, and focused only on squeezing more money out of you. The photo of their work says everything: the outlet can't even fit into the fabrication cut they made. And their "solution" was to demand more money. Bay Stone Depot is the definition of pay more, get worse. Save yourself the frustration, the headache, and the extra costs -- go anywhere else.

I wish I could give a 0 star for this store due to their dishonest and unprofessional service. I placed an order for bathroom tiles for our remodeling project for upcoming baby's bathroom. Because we have a hard deadline :) I double checked with the sales team and they confirmed the order should be ready for pickup in a week. After a week I had no follow up and decided to call the store. I called 5 times in a day and everyone on the phone said they are busy with other customers and will call me back, and they never did. I ended up driving to the store and found out they forgot to submit my order to the manufacturer... they promised me the order is submitted and should be shipped from LA tomorrow or the following Monday the latest and should be ready for pickup later in the week. The following week I didn't get any follow up (of course) so I called again on Thursday and they told me the truck is arriving today and the order should be ready for pickup next day. I called in again next day and the warehouse said the truck arrived at a different location yesterday and they are unloading today and the tiles should be ready for pickup romorrow. I sent my contractor over to pick up the following day. They told my contractor to the tiles are shipped from Texas and it'll take another week or two to arrive. I was super confused and frustrated with all of the conflicting info I've been told at this point, and the guy on the phone call simply said "I don't know what my coworkers told you" and was not willing to take responsibility on it. He simply put the phone aside and ignored me. If you are looking for a store that can give you reliable lead time and real reply, I'd suggest going to a different place. (Update) Due to their ignorance over the phone, my partner and I decided to change our plan and drive down to the store on Saturday. In the store they were not apologetic and the only thing I got was "because your sales person is not here today and the manufacturers are closed on weekend, I don't have a solution and you need to wait until Monday". After two wasted weeks of 10+ phone calls and two in-person visits, I don't have trust on their promises anymore and decided to cancel their order and went with another store. And I got this message from them.

Bay Stone Depot is the only place I go for all of my interior design clients. I know when I purchase from here, I will always receive the best quality materials. There is no comparison. Go just to see the beautiful Versace tiles.

Lots of options to choose from which helps to see all your materials together to help bring your visions to life! Originally worked with Zak but all the staff was always quite pleasant as picking materials takes time and patience so it helped that they always explained the products and different design options. We purchased a porcelain countertop and couldn't be happier with our end results! I would have given 5 stars but did have a hiccup with our order and when contractor was ready to pick up material, the wrong one was assigned to my purchase. Thankfully they were able to find the right one since I had originally taken photos so I highly suggest!

Gawdy design

Bay Stone showroom is right off of Brokaw Avenue in San Jose and located in very close proximity to a ton of tile and slab businesses. We had an appointment to meet our designer at this showroom. Fortunately we arrived early to peruse the store and view a lot of their offerings before meeting our designer. One could really spend a lot of time here so I recommend that you have plenty of time on hand to view everything they have. There are a few tables in the tile area for you to bring your samples together and view your collage of samples for your design. The lighting in their store is okay and may not necessarily match what you have in your home. So I would recommend taking home some samples to view with your specific lighting. I was not charged for the samples I wanted to see in my home. I believe they work on the honor system to bring back the samples you borrow. Since we were working with a designer, when it came down to the time to purchase our selection, we were given a 20% discount. This is a great deal because you get so much better pricing for what you're buying. I mean it's 20 %! If you end up shopping around at the other locations in the close vicinity you will find that they are about right on track with most of the other businesses. Yes, there are deals elsewhere. But their selection is undeniably huge.

The Versace collection
Scott H.

Why would management not be running the air conditioner on a 90 degree day in San Jose, California. For the customers, you can get Ann and get out pretty quick. But for the employees, it's downright miserable borderline torture. They have a great selection of stone, tiles, and everything in between. All of the staff and customers were carefully adhering to the covid-19 safety practices. But the temperature of the store made shopping very difficult. And I felt sorry for the employees who were doing a fantastic job.

Wide variety of Schluter
Darroll L.

Wide variety of tile, shower, bathtub, hardware, trim, and accessories. Definitely a place to stop by to inspire your creative juices for your next renovation project. We were inspired by the tiling patterns, mirror configuration, and shower installations for our multiple bathroom renovations.

Agnes D.

I'm giving this place a 3 because even though they a nice variety of products, the guy that helped us at the counter when we were inquiring seemed impatient and looked irritated; nothing about him reflected he wanted to help. The young lady in the back where the shower hardwares were at was more helpful .

Look how this bathroom came out!?

YELP!!! Why did you pull this awesome review!?!? I'm reposting with long overdue pics!!! What's up Yelpers i'm finally renovating the Kitchen and both Bathrooms and I need countertops and tiles ASAP, these contractors work fast! Damn who would've thought that shopping for tile with your lady could be like a roller coaster of decisions and ideas. Anyhow, all these tile shops in the area off of E. Brokaw are practically alike. They all stock pretty much the same tiles, of course with some variations of different stock on hand and of course different price ranges and different service. I spent a few weekends now shopping for tiles and countertops. I've been trying to find this elusive Super White Quartzite! It looks like Carrara Marble but it's way more durable and stain proof. I did my research and I knew this was the material I had to have for my countertops...period. I checked out all the shops nearby like Bullnose, Tileshop, Bedrosians, Porcelanosa, Emser, Home Expo & Design, Terico, Apex, Uni & Tile & Marble and probably more. If I didn't visit them I either called or emailed inquiring about specific tiles and countertops I was looking for. Man I'm telling you I was on a mission! Practically every shop I went to is like a tile maze...tiles everywhere! Tiles for days! If the shop didn't have nice displays, the tiles were lined up almost like books on a shelf. A person can go bonkers looking at all these damn tiles trying to decide. First you think man I really like that colored glass mosaic, then next thing ya know you see this beautiful glossy white 1x4 herringbone and you're like ahhh that's the one. Decisions decisions! Do yourself a favor, know what look you're goin for whether it be modern, contemporary, gaudy, or cheap lol. Start with your wow tile, the one you gotta have, then work off of that. It makes it so much easier Hahahaa. Okay so now why the 5 Star review for Bay Stone??? Mr. Kenneth Eveland...that's why. Every shop I went to was just straight a waste of time with people who don't even want to help you. It's like why in the F(_)€|{ were you even hired!? Was it just to stand around, act like you don't want to help out customers and give back unenthusiastic, half assed uneducated answers!? Damn if only I could smack these people up side the head and say hey get with it. Well I guess I'll spend my thousands of dollars elsewhere. I feel bad for the store owners, all that potential business go bye bye. Only Bullnose, TileShop and Bedrosians were actually helpful...sorry though you just didn't have what I was looking for. But as for the rest...straight boo boo, garbage, don't even waste your time because time is money. Luckily for Bay StoMr. Kenneth Eveland is the only reason I went there. He was quick to respond to my email with pictures of the countertops I wanted. When I finally found the time to visit Bay Stone and personally see the quartzite slabs the service was on par. Surprisingly the first person who asked if I needed help happened to be Mr. Kenneth Eveland who was quick and enthusiastic to help me. We knew who each other was once I mentioned Super White Quartzite haha. He showed us to the area where the slabs are stored and even offered to get the overhead crane to move slabs so I could see all of them and make my picks. He even measured the slabs to make sure that we would have enough material. Now that's service! Turns out we have enough for the bathroom vanities too! I made my picks and $OLD bought 2 slabs. Easy as 1-2-3. After that Mr. Kenneth Eveland asked if we needed help with anything else...the lady and I looked at each other because at this point we were about to choke each other from the tile decisions. Thank goodness we both agreed on the countertops. Anyhow, he helped us out asked what look we're goin for and made solid suggestions. The guy knows the shop better than us so he was pulling out tiles that we didn't even notice or see when we were walking around the store. He made solid suggestions that matched the look we were looking for and we were able to settle on the tiles we needed for our project. The prices were comparable but you can't buy service like this. Boom! another purchase! Thank You sooo much Mr. Kenneth Eveland for simplifying everything, being patient, being knowledgeable, for making this overall experience easy breezy and sooo much less stressful than it should ever have to be. You rock and gave solid service which is one of the main reasons I went with Bay Stone and will definitely come back for future projects. Remember if you want above and beyond service without attitude then look no further, just holler at your boy Mr. Kenneth Eveland!

What width are the quartz islands available in?

Quartz stone slabs generally come in a width approximately 108" x 42" and in three formats, 12mm, 2cm and 3cm thicknesses. Most islands use the 2cm size. 12mm is thought to be too thin to withstand cracking from heavy objects or pointed objects…

The wood refinishing contractor we selected to re-stain our kitchen cabinets referred us to Marcos and his team at Builtwell Marble & Granite based on their positive experiences collaborating on numerous projects. From our very first consultation, we were impressed by Marcos's professionalism, knowledge, and personable manner. Once we chose Builtwell to install our new Cambria quartz countertops, Marcos and his team exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire project. Marcos kept us informed at every stage and moved the work forward at a steady, comfortable pace--from preparing the quote and scheduling the demolition of our existing countertops to templating, fabrication, and final installation. From the time we made our initial deposit to order the Cambria material until the project was completed, the entire process took approximately four weeks, including the manufacturer's delivery time. We couldn't be happier with the results. In addition to transforming our kitchen with beautiful new white quartz countertops, Marcos and his team installed our new kitchen sink and bottle washer, expertly handled several challenging backsplash cuts around our kitchen window, and successfully removed and reinstalled our existing range hood--a task that proved to be far more complicated than expected. What stood out most was Marcos's pride in his work and his genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. It was clear that he cared deeply about delivering a high-quality result and ensuring that we were happy with every aspect of the project. We highly recommend Marcos and the Builtwell Marble & Granite team and would not hesitate to work with them again.

More than that, the way Marcos communicates with customers is really what makes his business beyond compare. He respects the customer's opinion (and time), and accommodates their needs extremely well. He is punctual and ensures that his work is of top quality, no matter how much time it takes. He goes beyond is commitments to ensure that a customer is fully satisfied. And his price is very reasonable. Wish there were more outfits like Builtwell. Keep up the good work Marcos.

They carry mostly factory made inventory, so if you want a standard size item, Granite Expo is not a bad choice.

They carry American made brands and European brands, so the vanity has the American shaker style as well as the European flat panel styles.
