My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    It has held up beautifully - however this is a high maintenance material, even water can leave a mark. If you love the look but hate the upkeep and care, consider a quartzite natural stone or a quartz product designed in the spirit of a white marble. Pental Quartz has some great new options. http://www.houzz.com/pro/granite-pental/pental-granite-and-marble

      Hi Valerie, the photo is taken from a lower angle the counter is a relatively normal height.

      How is the marble holding up as a counter top? Staining, etching...
      I REALLY want to use it in my kitchen but have been advised many times not to do it.
