					<description><![CDATA[Two years ago, we installed a Vetrazzo countertop in our $250+K kitchen remodel.  After the first 6 months the little glass pieces started chipping out of the filler especially around the edges.  Now the top is stained in two places and the Vetrazzo website says this just adds to the beauty.... wrong…  it just looks stained.  The surface, in many places is rough where the filler is breaking down.  The original company was located in California, but it has since been sold to a company in Georgia.  We went back to the manufacturer and got nothing but nasty emails telling us it was our fault for not maintaining the surface properly. This is NOT the case, everything in our kitchen is BEAUTIFUL... the Vetrazzo countertop will have to be replaced.  It&#039;s definitely NOT sustainable![img]/Users/RCPaccountingcomputer/Desktop/Filler breaking down.jpg[/img]]]></description>
