Granite Table Top Choices
Stock or pre-made granite tables can be a cost effective way to get granite end tables or granite coffee tables. A typical size round granite table might be 18 inches in diameter. For granite dining tables and granite kitchen tables, you may need to visit a local fabricator to find one large enough.
Also, keep in mind that shipping large stone tables can be extremely expensive. Consider that a 36 inch by 60 inch granite table can weigh 300 pounds. Here are some ideas for granite table tops.
So what do you put granite tops on? Granite table bases need careful consideration since they may have to support a lot of weight. Wood bases can look very attractive but may not be sturdy enough to withstand the weight or even balance a heavy stone top. I have seen well build hardwood table bases that work great and perform equally.
Steel or wrought iron bases often make ideal stone table bases. They are strong, heavy, and offer many design options. Check out the resources below for more granite furniture.
Granite table tops combined with appropriate bases are both functional and beautiful. They also offer a versatile design element for you home.
