Although real marble is hard, its durability is limited. The main component of calcium carbonate makes it very sensitive to acidic substances (such as lemon juice, vinegar, etc.), and it is prone to chemical reactions leading to corrosion marks on the surface.

Under normal household use conditions, the expected service life of artificial marble countertops is usually between 10 and 20 years. Its life is affected by many factors, including: installation quality, use environment, and daily maintenance.
