Bathroom vanities - carrera marble. Is that a really bad idea ?

Irene Toh

I was set on buying design element USA vanities that comes with carrera marble. Looks so beautiful but was later on told by many , marble stains so easily with water. I m just wondering why would a vanity have something that is easily damaged by water especially if it meant for bathrooms ? Any opinions is appreciated. Thanks

    Women wear 6" stilettos all the time so don't even go there about marble being too impractical for real life.

    I've marble in my en suite and it etches easily. With care and maintenance, it's not too bad on a vanity, but it would not have been my choice.

    Yes, marble can stain. I would recommend quartz instead.

    Etching is the issue with marble although some marble will stain. Etching shows up as loss of gloss, round ring marks from glasses, etc. You might look at Clearstone as it is the only product that will prevent acid etching and it comes with a 10 year warranty against etching and staining.

    Quartz is much easier to maintain, and there are many colors to choose from.
