That Dolce Vita is to die for!!! Just wanted to say how beautiful it is but no I don't have any experience with it.

Ditto!

I'm doing the lemon, mustard and oil test as we speak. Cross your fingers!

A few of us have WM and love it. No etching or staining at all.

But out of your particular slabs, I much prefer the DV. It's prettier. WM usually wows me but doesn't here. I'd go for the DV. It's gorgeous!

That Dolce Vita is gorgeous!!! Very, very, very nice. Hope it passes the test!

Here's the news on the Dolce Vita:
Mustard, pasta sauce, olive oil, marg - no problem
Lemon - 5 min - no problem
1.5 hours - not too bad
24 hours - BIG WHITE CHALKY ROUGH ETCH ( but seems not as bad after drying....so we'll see if it bothers me in a day or so....)

The macaubas so far seems fine, but I've only tested the 1.5 hours and the sample I have seems quite grey compared to the slab so I'm not sure I'd trust the test anyway.

DV is fab!!! no experience with it, but it is gorgeous!!!!

Here's a better view of the Macaubas. I think the lower left of this huge slab would look good if I can't live with the Dolce Vita etching. I'm using soapstone (grey/black not green) for the perimeter counters.

View of right side of slab:

I could use the top of the slab as well and it would look a lot like marble.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO???

what did you do? I'm currently considering DV and the etching concerns me too

Any update? If you used DV, how is long term results

I just chose La Dolce Vita for my countertop. It's still in the slab yard waiting installation. Is there anyone that has used this who has photos/experience? My slab looks so different from the photo above.

We are considering DV too and the slab I saw today looks just like the one @Marguerite Mastromatto posted. Concerned it may pull too creamy/yellow so we are also considering Mystery White Extra. Would love to see pics of your DV @reddyinga. Here's a pic of the Mystery White- so pretty too! What looks pinkish in the pic is actually beigy.

@Imp1959 What color are your cabinets? My cabinets are - I say cream, but they really aren't cream. The cabinet maker described the color as a warm sandy blonde with a hazelnut glaze. One of my friends said vanilla. Neutral stones like Taj Mahal pull gray, others are too white. Plus, I have a brick floor that changed everything. Not what I planned. It's now the quarantine rustic kitchen, but I will make it work.

Cabs are SW Dark Night- a very dark teal in our kitchen, which doesn't have a lot of natural light. Floors are a warm medium tone hardwood. Taj Mahal looks "muddy"- definitely need a warm white counter.

I've had Dolce Vita for 16 months. No staining but a couple etch marks where my husband has left lemon juice. It's not noticeable to anyone but me. Mine looks just like the photo posted by Marguerite Mastromatto. I have ivory cabinets.
