Why Marble is Never Worth it.

We were recently looking at a new apartment and the property manager was very eager to point out the marble counter top in the bathroom and kitchen as one of the apartment's best features. She felt like this alone would sell us on signing a lease. They were beautiful. The stone was a rich grey fading to light with brown streaks slashing each other at near right angles. It would be amazing, at least until I spilled a glass of orange juice at 6am. Marble stains fast. 

But how many people know that? Renters looking at new apartment or a homeowner thinking about remodeling their kitchen go in to an interior designer's studio and are sold on an amazing sample or demo kitchen. But that demo kitchen has never seen someone spill a glass of wine at a dinner party. All the marital one can use for counter tops have downsides. After a little searching, I came across blog post outlining the pros and cons of different types counters.
