preciousmoments 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2007 Hi, just gotten a marble top dining table and wanted to know how to protect the marble. Can owners of marble surface furniture kindly advise me? Will there be chips in the event of hard knocks or does it depend on the quality of the marble? Does it need polishing? Thanks. !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have natural marble, then you need to ne extra careful.There are many shops that sell polyester coated marble tops. These are supposed to last about 10 years with light to moderate use without requiring polishing or re-coating. You can use a mild detergent to clean off coffee/etc stains. It's much easier to protect against staining with these coated tables. I remember some shops in the furniture mall (beach road) and IMM selling these coated tables.
