Is the marble treated to prevent staining?

I think not furthermore the first time I used it we put a glass on the table and it left a depression in the marble so it must be very soft

Yes, it is clear and can be used on any color. I even used it on white Cultured Marble with good luck. On cultured marble you do have to put multiple coats on since it is so porous. Hope this helps.

I doubt it. Marble is a stone, any wax probably could be used, we just have never worked with non-porous items, only wood.

I would not use with stain. Stain and paint are 2 different products to protect wood. Stains is absorbed by the wood fibers, paint lays on the surface. The ceramic product would interfere with the performance of the stain.

It is real marble. It is a very solid, attractive table. My only complaint is that it gets slightly discolored with anything spilled on it.

I haven't used it yet, but my marble fabricators use it and recommended this product for me to reapply down the road. Instructions seem very easy. So yes, to your question:)

I would guess the plywood would have to be finished with a heavy coat of varnish of some kind. Also surface blemishes will be transmitted through the 'marble' and most plywood isn't perfectly flat. The grain does show through.

Marble is a naturally porus material, so it's just NOT stain resistant. Unfortunately, this table DOES take oil or hot/cold stains easily. Just try to wipe it up asap, and then if it's a colored or oil stain, I've found that squirting a small puddle of WINDEX on the stain and letting it sit for a while and then BLOTTING it up usually works. For stubborn stains, leave it longer, and repeat. And also stains will sink further down into the marble and fade as time goes on. It's a fancy dining table, so not good for kids or projects, unless you cover it up to protect the marble. Aside from that, it's an awesome table with a BEAUTIFUL natural surface, and I am extremely happy with it. Marble is a naturally porus material, so it's just NOT stain resistant.

I never got a chance to find out. It was shoddy workmanship and the marble was chipped so I returned it. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher for fear it wouldn't hold up. I would wash by hand with soap and warm water.

This picture is for natural so maybe that means not stained and treated. I don't have this version but mine is stained and finished so I wash down after use and polish.

Dampen a microfiber cloth with it and gently work the stain. Condition with protectant.

I think the answer would be yes, but the tops are not marble, it is some kind of faux finish with a type of polyurethane top coat.

Just know that all marble is not the same, for the most part though......you should be fine.

I believe so. Won't damage surface. I have used gel-gloss cream liquid on marble. Prefer it better than the spray

It specifies non porous surfaces and does not list natural stone, so that means it could be damaging and cause etching on natural stones, which are porous. If you use something like 511 Porous Plus (I do my bathroom marble every 6 mos) it may offer some protection, but I'd test in an inconspicuous place first.

Pretty much. It is white and various shades of grey. On the other hand, as it is marble, I would expect some variation.

no, no color changes are apparent or visible, but the "Bulletproof" stone sealer I used on my marble bathroom vanity top did not protect it from PINESOL, which has now stained the marble, thanks to my girlfriend using PINESOL to clean the marble...it is now damaged forever.
