Marble top table

We are thinking of purchasing a marble top dining room table. I was wondering about the scratch factor and whether or not this was a smart choice. How delicate of a stone is this, as far as everyday use? Will it get ruined, chipped, scratched? thank you.
 

Dear Crissy:

If you're concerned that your marble top should keep looking brand-new all the time, then your choice is not advisable.

Marble will scratch and, most disturbing of all, being that like all calcite-based stones is sensitive to acidic spills, it will get etched just about every single day.

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?

Ciao and good luck,

Mauri z io Bertoli
