The countertop is actually marble! It's an Arizona Tile product named Cafe Forest that comes from Rajasthan, India. We're glad you like it! It looks great with the white cabinets, don't you think?

What type of finishes for this marble. Is this a matte finish. What upkeep do you need to use.

This counter has a standard polished marble finish. For maintenance you have a couple of options--You can spray and wipe any type of marble sealer every 6 months or so or you can purchase a dual purpose cleaner/sealer, so every time you clean the counter top, you're sealing it as well!

This is my kitchen and its is a honed finish on marble which means not polished the upkeep is very minimal that is why I chose it!
