What is a marble finish dining table?

A marble finish or marble look table has a top that only looks like marble, for example a laminate, a printed sheet, a painted finish or a printed ceramic or glass surface. It is not quarried stone.

How can I tell real marble from a marble finish?

Real marble feels cool and heavy, and its veins run through the stone and look slightly different across the slab. A print often repeats its pattern and feels lighter. Ask the seller what the top is made of.

Is a marble finish table cheaper?

Usually, yes, because it uses less costly materials. A real marble top costs more but is natural stone that can last for many years with care.

Are your dining tables real marble?

Yes. Our marble top dining pages list natural marble or onyx marble as the marble type, on an Indian teak (sagwan) wood frame.

Does real marble need special care?

It needs simple care: coasters, quick wiping of spills, mild cleaning and no acidic cleaners like lemon or vinegar.
