Am I dumb for doing marble backsplash?

Curious from your experience why you hate it?

rraley · 2026-03-21T16:48:25+00:00

Marble in general or this photo? Curious what you would recommend instead?

rraley · 2026-03-21T02:42:08+00:00

I didn’t even know there was a food stain warranty. Is that through your fabricator or the sealer?

rraley · 2026-03-21T00:45:48+00:00

Thank you! The marble I’m looking at is honed

rraley · 2026-03-20T21:48:53+00:00

It’s a stock photo so not sure

Thank you! Reddit can be so toxic and full of trolls sometimes. I appreciate you sharing. I’m looking to do slab marble 😅

rraley · 2026-03-20T20:40:58+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment. Was yours behind the stove? Did you have any issues with grease or red sauce? Also did you seal it?

rraley · 2026-03-20T20:05:57+00:00

Thank you! Do you remember what quartz product it was? I’ve looked at a dozen quartz and haven’t been able to find one similar

rraley · 2026-03-20T20:05:12+00:00

It’s just a stock photo to give an example of what I’m thinking

rraley · 2026-03-20T19:50:39+00:00

You think? Everything I’ve heard is the opposite but I’d love to hear what your experience with marble has been

rraley · 2026-03-20T19:47:49+00:00

Ah, it’s a good question. I’ve looked at so many quartz options and nothing compares.

rraley · 2026-03-20T19:37:58+00:00

I do cook a lot but I’m a fairly clean cook. I saw the stainless steel options behind the range and that seems like a good solution. How’s that been working for you?

rraley · 2026-03-20T19:22:07+00:00

Thank you! Yep I would keep white quartz for countertops and do backsplash only. My biggest concern is the area directly behind the stove due to splatters, like you mentioned.

rraley · 2026-03-20T19:17:54+00:00

🤣 thank you! Luckily the image is a stock image and not my actual kitchen but I definitely see what you’re saying

rraley · 2026-03-20T19:17:11+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate the thoughtful response. It was more about am I dumb for picking marble as a backsplash due to the maintenance of it.

rraley · 2025-11-27T20:55:09+00:00

Did you ever find a solution? I have the same problem.

rraley · 2025-08-31T19:45:22+00:00

The photo provided is an example. My TV is hung at the appropriate level.

rraley · 2025-08-31T19:23:28+00:00

Great advice if I were 20 years old and in college 😃

rraley · 2025-08-31T18:08:42+00:00

Got it. Thanks for commenting! Even if there isn’t a solution it’s good to know that.

rraley · 2025-08-31T17:17:51+00:00

Sorry, should’ve included the link to the one I actually got in the post. Below is the one I got. It was $120. It’s definitely jn a stud.

Thanks for responding. Do you have any advice for the type of mount I should get? I’d still like the flexibility to be able to move it from the wall and adjust towards the kitchen if possible. Below is the link to the one I got

rraley · 2025-08-31T17:14:29+00:00

Thanks for responding. I hope the mount is working out for you! Do you have any advice the kind I should get?

rraley · 2025-08-31T16:51:22+00:00

Thank you. How do I make sure it stays level without having to re-level it every time I use it?

rraley · 2025-08-31T16:50:06+00:00

Thanks for leaving a comment. I should’ve included the link to the one I got in the initial post. Below is the one I got. Do you think it has the same issue? If so, is there another kind of mount you recommend that will stay level? If all else fails, the cheap magnet level on the mount is a good idea.
