Know before you buy
The table weighs 322 lbs due to its solid marble construction. While assembly is required, we strongly recommend having professional assistance or at least two to three people to handle the heavy marble base and glass top safely.
The base is crafted from White Carrara marble, which is a natural stone. While it is durable, it is porous and can be susceptible to staining from liquids; we recommend using coasters and wiping up spills immediately to maintain its finish.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner for the top. Be careful to spray the cleaner onto the cloth rather than directly on the glass to prevent any liquid from seeping into the crevices of the marble base.
The top is made of 12.7 mm thick clear tempered glass. This thickness provides excellent structural integrity and durability for standard living room use, though it should be protected from heavy impacts on the edges.
The intricate 36-square pattern does create small crevices that can collect dust over time. A soft-bristled brush or a microfiber duster is effective for cleaning between the squares to keep the sculptural details looking sharp.
