Custom vs. Ready-Made: Why Customising Your Marble Dining Table is Worth the Investment
When it comes to choosing a marble dining table, the decision between custom and ready-made often involves more than just budget considerations. While ready-made tables can be convenient, a custom marble dining table allows you to personalise a unique piece that perfectly aligns with your style, space, and functional needs. As a specialist in crafting bespoke natural stone tables, we believe that customising your own table is a choice you won’t regret and here’s why:
1. Choice of Premium Marble
Not all marble is the same, and each type comes with unique qualities in terms of colour, veining, and pattern. Customisation allows you to be in control, selecting every detail to make your table a true reflection of your style. When you customise your table at Marblelous, you have the opportunity to handpick the specific marble type and slab that resonates with you. From the subtle veining of white Carrara marble, to the contrasting patterns of black Bvlgari France marble, our wide selection of high quality, imported marble ensures that you’ll find a perfect match for your vision.
2. Crafted to Fit Your Space
One of the biggest challenges with ready-made marble dining tables is finding the right size and shape for your dining room. A table that looks perfect in one home may feel completely out of place in another. If it’s too large, it can overwhelm the space; if it’s too small, it can feel underwhelming and not suit your needs. With a custom dining table, there is no need to compromise as you can design it in precise dimensions to fit your dining room perfectly.
At Marblelous, we offer customisable options, including larger sizes such as 12-seater round marble dining tables up to 2.1 metres in diameter and rectangular tables up to 3.5 metres long, ensuring that your table complements your space with intention and balance.
3. Better Quality with Modern Enhancements
Marble is a natural stone that is known for its durability and classic appeal. However, how your table is crafted can impact its longevity. Ready-made tables may not always use the highest quality stone or the best construction techniques, which can lead to issues like uneven surfaces or poor base design over time. Custom tables, on the other hand, often go through a more meticulous crafting process with attention to detail at every step, as each piece is made specifically for you.
At Marblelous, we enhance our custom marble tables with our signature COPALCLEAR® coating, offering an additional layer of protection against stains and scratches. This exclusive coating ensures that your marble dining table remains a durable, long-lasting piece that will look pristine with minimal maintenance.
4. Exclusive Table Bases with Style and Stability
While the marble top may be the focal point, the base is also essential for both style and stability. With a custom table, you can choose a base that makes it look even more distinctive, blending beauty and stability in a single design. Whether you prefer a sleek stainless steel base for a contemporary look or a natural stone base for a more organic feel, the options are endless.
Additionally, for those inspired by Feng Shui, certain base materials and shapes can hold special significance. Customising your very own marble dining table allows you to design a piece that not only harmonises with your decor but also brings positive energy into your home.
5. Dedicated Customer Service and Support
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.
When you choose to customise your marble dining table, you’re engaging with experts who understand the nuances of natural stone, craftsmanship, and design. The process is personalised, with guidance on selecting the ideal marble slab, base, and finish. With a team ready to answer questions, provide maintenance tips, and guide you every step of the way, your investment in a custom marble dining table becomes an enjoyable and rewarding experience. At Marblelous, our dedicated team is committed to bringing your vision to life, from the initial design to the final delivery and installation.
6. Creating a Legacy Piece
While custom marble tables may require a higher initial cost than ready-made options, the long-term value they offer makes them a worthwhile investment. A custom marble dining table isn’t just a piece of furniture; it’s a legacy. Crafted to your specifications using premium materials, a well-made table becomes a cherished piece that can be passed down through generations. The durability of marble, combined with the unique touches that reflect your style, transforms the table into an heirloom, carrying family memories and stories that endure over time.
Why Custom is the Right Choice
While ready-made tables may offer convenience and a lower initial cost, a custom marble dining table is worth every consideration as it offers you the flexibility to design something truly special. It’s an investment that provides unmatched beauty, unique design, and practical functionality tailored to your home and lifestyle.
