We thought this was an actual marble top. After a few weeks there were small scratches. But we didn’t think too much of those minor scratches. Our one year started banging her head into the corners so we added corner protectors to the corners so our child wouldn’t hurt her head. So one day our child pulls at the corner foam protector and rips off a piece of the marble top. It turns out that the marble veneer is actually very thin. The veneer is thinner than my finger nails.  The table is beautiful but be very careful since the veneer comes off with just double sided tape.
