Marble Dining Tables

Why choose a marble dining table?

Whether you use your dining space for everyday family eating or keep it reserved for special occasions, a marble tabletop can be an excellent choice. Marble is a very hard wearing and resilient material that lends itself naturally to being a tabletop or work surface. The natural marble effect created during the formation process is one of nature’s greatest design statements, and the ability to polish the stone to a stunning smooth surface really shows off these natural features.

As well as offering eye-catching beauty, marble is also easy to clean and maintain, making it an investment that can last a lifetime. Marble dining tables are available in a range of sizes and design styles, including 4 seater dining tables, 6 seater dining tables, as well as both square and round dining table designs.

How to choose a marble dining table

There are several main considerations you need to think about when choosing your marble top dining table. Consider the size and shape of the marble top you need for your space – do you need a large or small dining table? Is round or rectangular more suited to your space? Color option is another consideration you may have. Marble is available in a surprising range of colors, with varying degrees of natural veins and patterns.

What materials are best for a marble table top?

Once you have thought about the size, style and color of your marble tabletop, you can decide the type of materials you want for the base. Is a wood dining table base suitable or will a sleeker metal base fit better in your interior’s modern design style? As marble can be extremely heavy, stability is required for safety reasons. The base that you select for your marble tabletop should be very solid and well-built. If you want an extendable dining table, then the mechanism and functionality of this with a heavy marble top will also need to be considered.

How to clean the marble top dining table?

Marble is an extremely resilient and hard wearing material that can usually just be wiped clean to look as good as new. Marble is usually well polished and smooth, meaning that most spills and stains can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth. It is best recommended that the surface of your marble tabletop is sealed before use, as some marble may be porous meaning stubborn stains such as wine can be hard to remove.

How do you keep a marble dining table from scratching?

You will need to apply a marble polish roughly every year to protect the marble from scratches. But prevention, such as using coasters is always a good idea, especially with hard dishes and other potential scratching materials like glass or metal.

Are marble dining tables hard to maintain?

A regular polish with special marble polish about once a year should keep your marble in good condition. You should also ensure your marble has been sealed to prevent the surface from being too porous. Other than this, marble is generally very easy to clean and maintain.
