When I bought my Silestone countertop (after a lot of research) I got
it at Expo Design Center and they subcontracted to the local Silestone-
affiliated installer (authorized dealer, I guess). Installation was
included in the cost, and they did a fine job. And yes, you can see
the exact pattern since it's engineered. I think engineered stone is
better than granite because it's less porous. Seven years since
installation and it looks exactly the same.
