Me! If you search these forums for “onyx” you should find several posts. I love mine - actually, I have 2. They are about 5 years old.

Thank you, littlebug! Do you know how the price compares to tile?

The material cost is about the same, but labor is WAY less. And I love not having to clean grout lines.

Great and encouraging info- I'm going to do it! Thanks again! :)

Just find a local manufacturer of cultured marble. That's all it is, and a local source will have more accountability and also have experienced installers. That is key, because walls are not ever plumb or square, and the panels weigh almost as much as stone slabs. You have to have muscle and experience both to install.

Thanks! So is it considered to be less desireable than tile? Will it affect resale value?

Although your question is about using The Onyx Collection in your shower, I wanted to let you know we recently had a new countertop installed in our guest bathroom. It scratches horribly. In fact, we are expecting a representative from The Onyx Collection to come to our house this week to inspect. We don't know if we received a bad product or if all their vanities are like this. Please make sure you ask questions about the hardiness and any type of issues before having it installed.

So sorry to hear about your counter top problem! That is so disappointing, but I really appreciate the warning. I was planning to use quartz for the counter tops and the onyx product in the shower, but I certainly don't want to have to deal with scratching issues. I hope the company stands behind their product. Thanks again!

I believe that a true solid surface shower (corian, swanstone, transolid, Kohler choreograph, plus many others) is a better choice. The shiny surface of the Onyx Collection means that even if the color goes all the way through the product, any marring of the surface is not really repairable by the homeowner. With a true solid surface, where the color goes all the way through and there is no surface coat, a scratch or scuff is repairable with simple hand sanding with a 3M pad.

Great info- Thank you, Nancy!
