Every piece has veins of mineral patterns which make up its unique appearance. Easy to polish and excellent heat resistance, marble is a durable surface however it is porous and care must be taken, especially with acidic spills. Marble will develop its own patina over time depending on the level of care you give it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"optfield-code\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"optfield-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eW120 D50 H75CM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"optfield-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"optfield-value\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarble Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarble is a beautiful surface however because it is quite soft and porous, marble can easily be stained, scratched, and chipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of this marble table top has been highly polished to close the pores to help prevent any damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular cleanings should be as gentle as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust the surface once or twice a week with a soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash the marble periodically with a cloth dampened with warm water, and, if necessary, a bit of mild dishwashing liquid.
