Very disappointed. We purchased this Vanity Top a few months before it was installed. The remodeling project was delayed so it took us a little longer to finish up the bathroom remodeling project. After we were all finished, I noticed a few water spots, so I used the cleaner I always use when cleaning the bathroom "Lysol Bathroom Cleaner" with NO Abrasives & NO Bleach. But there were big ugly blotches left on the stone....where the cleaner took the shine off. Now I am left with a beautiful bathroom, but a "ugly vanity top....with dull looking blotches". I contacted Home Depot, and was informed that this was NOT within the their 90 day return policy....and then they gave me the contact information for MCS Industries (who they say are the vendors of that product) . I sent MSI an email, and they replied back to inform me that they do not handle that product. So, I am just wondering why no one wants to help me. All I want to know is if there is something that I can put on the vanity top to bring back the shine and get rid of the ugly blotches? I am attaching a couple of pictures showing one of the areas where the shine was removed by the cleaner....the white area in the pics is of the overhead light reflecting on the vanity....if you zoom in you can see the blotch/spots a lot better. Does anyone know what I can put on this to bring back the shine and remove the spots?

    Should have been less than an hour install took over 5 hours modifying and throwing away my warranty to make it fit the wood support for the marble was misaligned very badly for the faucet to fit properly and push to forward to fit in the vanity properly which other reviews stated. If you do buy one check it out completely front back sides. Even the back piece is an eighth of an inch larger then the vanity top. All said and done, I doubt if the faucet and this countertop would last over 2 years. Look good,but looks can be deceiving.

      What features stand out most? marble design What do you like or dislike about it? Overall, I like the price. I dislike that there is an area that is not smooth (like the marble was etched by a spill). You can feel the etched area as well as see the area when you stand in a certain area and the light reflects off the top. How long have you had it? a month Does it meet your expectations? I will state that it is acceptable since I want to finish my remodeling project.

      This product seemed rather nice, but I unfortunately had to return it because of a fitment issue.... I removed a 25x22 inch sink and intended to replace it with this sink of the same size, but after taking it out of the package and laying it on my vanity, there was no way that was happening. The rectangular undermount sink has giant metal hold-down clips up almost to very edge of the top surface. This would be acceptable (barely) if the vanity was freestanding, permitting overhang on both the left and right sides, but alas, my vanity is mounted against the wall on the left side, forcing all overhang to be on the right side. This offset caused the metal clips to interfere with the side of my vanity as the attached picture shows. I wish that the web page for this product had showed these clips and the dimensions of their placement. The solution for me is to order a vanity top with an oval undermount sink, where the retention clips aren't all the way out to the edges.

        These vanity tops are stunning! The photos do not do them justice. I know a few people have expressed concerns about "cracks" in the marble: they are definitely NOT cracks. This is natural marble, and what you're seeing is called veining. It is just a natural phenomenon. The veins do not go through the entire slab and they don't weaken the counter. This is our second installation of this particular vanity top and both look amazing. We did all of the work ourselves, and added custom glass tile backsplashes and side splashes. We also bought new Pfister Ladera faucets, as our old ones were narrow-set. Our vanities now belong in a spa! I should mention that - as is true of any natural stone - you need to seal these before use. Get a high-quality sealant and do it twice the first time. It will keep water and other liquids, as well as stains, from being absorbed into the porous marble. It also adds a glossier sheen. You'll know you've done it right when water splashes bead up. I also bought a countertop cleaner that claims to reseal as it cleans. We shall see. We had to cut this vanity top to length, as we have a non-standard cabinet. With a diamond blade on our portable tile saw it was really easy. We used polishing pads on an electric buffer to bevel the edges and polish the cut ends. My realtor friend says we've added a lot of value to our master bath via this upgrade from our old "cultured marble" one-piece vanity tops.

        This product was better than I had anticipated. It was really easy to install, and my wife and I both LOVE IT !!! We wasn't sure if we would like the square sink, but it turned out to really be one of our best home improvement decisions. It was easier than one might think to install. my wife and I have been married for over 50 years, and WE INSTALLED IT.

        Our marble vanity top does not have any brown veining as the picture on the Home Depot website shows. It is mostly white with grayish streaks. But it looks very nice on our dark wood vanity, and goes well with our grey tile floor and brushed nickel fixtures.

        I was looking for a top with some gold in it. I saw this online, but heeded the advice of another review to go look at it in store first. I'm glad I did. It has very little gold/brown veining in it. Out of the two my store had, only the one I purchased was acceptable. Even it had a "bald" spot on it, though, where it appears the finish rubbed off. My local store is a 30 minute trip and I just don't have time to be running back and forth. The store associate opened the box of the one I didn't purchase, and it had a large crack down the center and had to be removed from the shelf. Though it is missing the gold I wanted, there is a small trace and it really is a pretty top considering its price. With that said, however, my REAL issue is with the side splash. You are not able to purchase it in the store. I didn't realize this before going. The reviews for the side splash warned me to order several at a time to get a halfway decent color match. I decided it didn't matter as you really don't see it, anyway, and I didn't want to go back to the store to make a return. Well, though the color didn't matter, the fact that it arrived broken in half did. How frustrating. I re-ordered the splash (5 this time) and have to wait another week for delivery. In the meantime, I will take the broken one elsewhere to see if I can find a decent match and get my project finished as this is the only thing we're waiting for to be able to use our bathroom. Then, I'll just return all six of the splashes I ordered from HD.

          The Stone colors and looks were nice and rich looking. The Sink seems well made and is currently working nicely. The one thing they should include is a small container of SEALER to treat the stone surface for the first time before use.

          We purchased this top without actually seeing the product in the box. It is beautiful with color streaked into the left side. The backsplash matches this like the top and backsplash were cut from the same slab of marble. The only thing that we would change is the shape of the basin. We would have preferred a round or oval shaped basin. It has been installed for 1 week and completely meets our expectations.

          I'm in love with this marble top. The veining is much more subtle than it appears in pictures for some reason. My tops veining is really all gray even though I was hoping for some brown. But I don't mind because it's just so beautiful. I love the hints of shimmer when the sun hits it! The price for this marble top was incredible. Had mine delivered from the local store. The made sure it was perfect before leaving.

            The fake cracks look hideous. I thought someone bought it before me and put pencil marks down it. It is very nice looking except for the big fake lines running through it! I also got it home from Home Depot and the back splash was cracked so I had to return it. Serious people, doesn't the picture look like a 3 yr old got a hold of a pencil?

              The product looks nice but the documentation is very poor and the large brackets holding the sink in place make it very difficult to mount in most vanities. There is only 1 inch of clearance on either side of the unit to support it. This may be fine if it is going into a 25 inch alcove, but if you are planning on putting it in a corner with a 24 inch cabinet with a small overhang on one side, the brackets are directly above one wall of the cabinet. I had to raise the unit 1.25 inches to meet the mirror, so I was able to carve away enough material to make room for the brackets without modifying the cabinet, but it was a very undesirable step and turned a couple hour project into a full day endeavor. I would definitely not order this again. Next time I would look for a smaller sink, or a round one where there is room for the brackets in the corners. This is specifically for the 25inch size. The brackets are likely not as obstructive in the larger sizes.

                I'm in the middle of my first DIY renovation and this marble vanity top with attached basin has really made my guest bathroom look amazing! It Also saved me a lot of time, money and frustration from having to order and wait on a custom top. Everything that I have purchased for my upgraded bathroom has come from Home Depot and it's really coming together!

                  The marble Vanity top and sink modernized and updated the look of my bathroom and looks great. Make sure you open and check the product before you buy it. Each marble top is very different and the first three I opened were either scratched, damaged or the marble had no veining in it and just all white. Had to go to two different Home Depots to finally find the right one.

                    I purchased this vanity. I had to cut 1/2 inch from each side as I had 36" wall to wall on the sides. Circular saw w/ diamond blade worked just fine. This vanity top looks great and I'm very happy with the way it looks.

                      This vanity top was a great deal and it looks amazing in our bathroom. Each top varies in color and our local store had no problems with us looking at the two choices before purchasing. Our top has less brown than the picture and more gray which is more of what we are looking for to match the rest of the bathroom. The sink comes pre-mounted which made installation easy and the marble seems to already be sealed so have not really had to worry about stains so far. Much better than paying a company for a custom vanity top for triple the price, can't go wrong with this.

                        We modified our existing bathroom vanity by removing the doors, making it higher and adding more detail. The vanity top we purchased fit perfectly and looks amazing. It might not be granite or marble but its appearance is very close and for a fraction of the cost.
