Debunking 5 Common Myths About Natural Stone Dining Tables
Natural stone dining tables, made from marble, granite, and quartzite, are often regarded as luxurious and timeless pieces. However, several myths about their durability, maintenance, and suitability for everyday use often deter homeowners from investing in these beautiful pieces. With years of experience in crafting natural stone dining tables, we're here to clear up these myths and help you better understand the true value and practicality of natural stone dining tables.
Myth 1: Natural Stone Dining Tables Are Too Delicate for Daily Use
One of the most common misconceptions about natural stone tables is that they are too fragile for everyday use. While marble and other natural stones may look delicate with their smooth finishes and intricate veining, they are much tougher than you think.
Natural stones like granite and quartzite are some of the hardest materials available for dining tables, making them highly resistant to scratches, chips, and other wear and tear. Even marble, which is softer in comparison, can last for generations when properly cared for. At Marblelous, we ensure that our tables are not only made with high-quality natural stones but also enhanced with our innovative COPALCLEAR® coating, which provides an additional layer of protection against scratches and stains.
Myth 2: Natural Stone Dining Tables Are Hard to Maintain
Another misconception is that natural stone dining tables require constant upkeep and maintenance. While it’s true that stones like marble can be porous and require proper care, modern innovations have made maintenance much easier.
With our food-safe COPALCLEAR® coating, spills and stains are no longer a concern, as the coating creates a stain-resistant barrier that helps prevent liquids from seeping into the stone. To keep your table clean and pristine, all you need is a soft damp cloth to wipe away dirt or food residue
Myth 3: Natural Stone Dining Tables Are Only for Luxury Settings
Natural stone tables are often associated with formal dining rooms and grand spaces, leading some to believe that they are too extravagant for everyday use. In reality, the colour and pattern varieties of natural stones make them versatile enough to suit both modern and casual spaces. A white Carrara marble dining table enhances the clean look of a minimalist dining room, while a black Magma Golden quartzite table adds opulence to a grand dining space.
At Marblelous, we offer a wide range of natural stones including marble, granite and quartzite, with customisable table shapes and exclusive table bases, ensuring that your table matches your style and enhances the ambiance of your home.
Myth 4: Natural Stone Dining Tables Are Too Heavy for Homes
There is no doubt that natural stone dining tables are heavy, but this is not necessarily a disadvantage. The weight of natural stone contributes to the stability and sturdiness of the table, making it less likely to wobble or move, especially when hosting large gatherings or placing heavy items on the surface. It also makes it a safer choice for households with young children or pets.
With professional delivery and installation services, we will ensure that your natural stone dining table is carefully placed and set up in your dining space without hassle, regardless of its size or weight.
Myth 5: Natural Stone Dining Tables Are Too Expensive
While natural stone dining tables can have a higher upfront cost than tables made from materials like wood, glass, or sintered stone, they offer great long-term value. A high quality natural stone table can retain its beauty and functionality for generations with minimal care, unlike cheaper alternatives that may need to be replaced after a few years.
As a bespoke natural stone table manufacturer, we offer selections at various price points, ensuring that you can find a table that fits your budget without compromising on quality or style.
