I am very Disappointed with my stone bench top. It is not daily friendly meaning it has marks on it all the time that just seem to build up over time. A kitchen bench is worked on every day & needs to be wiped over constantly but this stone doesn't like to be wiped over leaving a build up no matter what you use. It is a lot of work to keep it clean & still looks bad after you have cleaned. I would suggest to people to investigate other options.
