Buying marble slab

13 years ago

Is it cost effective to buy marble slab in Italy and have it shipped over for our reno job? We will be in Italy for something else and just realized we will be 2 hours south of Carrara region. Or should we just skip it, drink vino and get our marble in the good ol' US?
