What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the table's exceptional design and luxurious presence, noting it instantly elevates any dining space. The Emperador marble finish is frequently highlighted as a stunning centerpiece.

Know before you buy
The aluminum honeycomb core is used to provide structural rigidity and reduce the overall weight of the stone without sacrificing the look of a solid 1½-inch thick slab. This engineering makes the table easier to manage while maintaining the durability and aesthetic of natural marble.
No. Because the table features natural stone, each piece will have unique veining and color variations. You should expect your tabletop to have its own distinct character that differs from the showroom or catalog samples.
The wire-brushed finish is designed to highlight the natural grain of the American white oak. To maintain it, simply dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that could strip the finish or clog the wood's texture.
The marble is sanded and sealed to provide a smooth, protected surface. However, marble is a porous natural material, so it is recommended to wipe up spills immediately—especially acidic substances like wine, lemon, or vinegar—to prevent etching or staining.
The table has a total height of 30 inches with a clearance of 28½ inches from the floor to the underside of the frame. This provides ample space for most standard dining chairs to tuck in comfortably.
The largest 108-inch version is designed to accommodate up to twelve guests. Keep in mind that the final capacity depends on the width of your dining chairs and how much elbow room you prefer for your guests.
