Counter top material for bathroom vanity

I was all set to buy an all-in-one vanity with marble countertop for our bathroom, but was then told it's a bad idea as marble stains easily. I did some research and I do see a lot of results on this. That being said, the reviews on the vanity are great, with only a few people mentioning stains.

I've now also searched for quartz tops but it's harder to find all-in-ones. I could get a separate base and quartz top, but really prefer the all-in-one option for a small, downstairs powder room.

Any comments/suggestions on whether marble is a bad idea due to staining issues would be great appreciated.

I know I can seal it, but would prefer not do be doing that every 6 months or whatnot.

Thank you!

 

FWIW...Yes marble or granite can stain, but common sense will make it last forever. Do not use any type of oil based liquid (don't even leave a stick of butter even in the wrapper sitting on the counter top). Wipe off immediately if anything is spilled. We have had a granite kitchen and bathroom counter tops and never had any problem. Up until recently that included a family of seven (4 women and two men). And we never use a sealer. My wife does all kinds of cooking and baking and never had a mishap with our stone counter tops. She keeps several canisters in one corner and that area has not changed color compared to the are a that is used for daily work.
In the bathroom, both mother and daughter keep all their makeup and paraphernalia on counter top with no stains or marks.

 

Thank you. Given that this is for a bathroom that would only ever have a soap dispenser on the counter (no other chemicals, cooking oils, etc...), I guess it shouldn't be an issue?

 

Go for it. Nothing beats the feel and look of stone counter tops.
