The measurements were incorrect, and we have a 1/4 " seam in our countertop that looks awful. I am not happy with the granite, but I am concerned about marble because it is more porous. I am thinking about ceramic tile at this point.<br /><br />Great post!Ricki Treleavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363865916909018452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574560462388181967.post-51793218688044078262011-07-23T11:15:11.411-04:002011-07-23T11:15:11.411-04:00Those countertops are beautiful!
