[quote=Anonymous]The most beautiful kitchens I have seen have marble countertops.  I'm getting marble for my kitchen!  I'm a little nervous about it, but I figure we can always change it in about 7 years anyway.

One piece of advice someone told me was to get a glass or clear acrylic chopping block/cutting board sort of thing and leave it on the counter so when you are in a hurry you can stash glasses and dishes there in addition to the sink.   And since it is clear it won't take away from the marble look.

I have done a little research and found that many people are unhappy with caesarstone.  I don't know if the other brands have the same reputation, but we were deciding between marble and caesarrstone and I read several forums of people saying they chose caesarstone instead of marble for the durability and they have been really disappointed because it has cracked, stained, chipped etc.   I decided I would be so bummed if I picked something I didn't want as much as marble so that it would be more durable if in fact it didn't hold up well.

Also we are paying extra to get it sealed with two different products ( which won't help with etching , but will hopefully help with staining)[/quote]
