Custom Stone Tabletops in Phoenix: Choose the Stone, Then the Table

A Different Kind of Statement Piece

A statement table doesn’t have to be enormous. Sometimes a smaller piece of stone with the right pattern can completely change the feel of a room.

Consider two marble tabletops in our collection, both measuring 32″ × 26″.

One features delicate mineral markings and a relatively quiet appearance. The other has cloudy gray areas and more noticeable taupe-gray bands.

The dimensions are identical. The appearance is not.

Either could become an interesting coffee or accent table with an appropriately designed base.

This is one of the advantages of selecting an individual stone tabletop rather than purchasing a mass-produced furniture set. You can see the actual material and choose the pattern that appeals to you.

Make the Stone the Center of the Design

Some tabletops are subtle. Others naturally attract attention.

Our collection includes several distinctive surfaces:

• Black-and-gold granite: A dramatic combination of dark mineral bands, gold accents and natural crystalline movement. An interesting option for a dining or conference table.See the 100″ × 36″ black-and-gold granite
• Green-and-honey onyx: A striking blend of green, olive, honey and amber tones that brings a distinctive natural pattern into a room.See the 97″ × 48″ green-and-honey onyx
• White marble: A lighter appearance with natural gray veining, suitable for customers who prefer a more understated design.See the 62″ × 35″ white marble
• Petrified wood: A distinctive material with natural grain-like patterns, mineral coloring and character unlike conventional stone surfaces.See the 82″ × 37.5″ petrified wood

We also offer quartzite, travertine, Taj Mahal stone and engineered quartz tabletops.

The right choice depends on the atmosphere you want to create. A strongly patterned stone can become the centerpiece of a room, while a quieter surface can complement existing furniture, flooring and finishes.

Appearance is important, but understanding the material before purchasing is equally important.

The Base Is Part of the Design—and Part of the Structure

A stone tabletop cannot simply be placed on any base that happens to fit underneath it.

The base must be suitable for the tabletop’s weight, dimensions, thickness and intended use.

Stability, attachment, support, overhang and knee clearance all matter.

This becomes particularly important with longer surfaces, such as a 90″ × 36″ quartz tabletop or a substantial natural stone dining surface.

You may already have a metal or wood base that you would like to use. That may be possible, but its compatibility should be assessed before purchasing the stone.

At Lion Marble & Stone, most listings are for tabletops only. Base inclusion varies by individual piece, and custom bases can be discussed separately.

The goal is to create a table that looks right and is properly supported for its intended use.

Choose the Right Size for Your Space

A tabletop can fit inside a room and still be the wrong size for the way you intend to use it.

Before choosing a piece, consider:

• Can people pull their chairs out comfortably?
• Is there sufficient room to walk around the table?
• Will chair arms fit beneath the finished table?
• Will the base interfere with legroom?
• Is the table intended for dining, working, entertaining or occasional use?

One useful exercise is to mark the proposed tabletop dimensions on your floor using painter’s tape. Position your chairs around the marked area and walk through the space.

Also remember that seating capacity depends on the base, chair dimensions and available clearance—not just the length of the stone.

If you are unsure about sizing, bring your measurements and intended use when discussing a tabletop with us.

See the Actual Stone Before You Decide

Natural stone is not manufactured with identical patterns. Every individual piece has its own mineral movement, markings and color variations.

That is why seeing the actual tabletop matters.

Look at the complete surface, not just a small sample. Notice where the strongest patterns appear and consider how the stone will look in your room.

Ask to see current photographs of the actual piece, including the edge, thickness and finish. Studio illustrations can help visualize the overall design, but the actual stone should guide your final decision.

At Lion Marble & Stone, our collection features individually fabricated tabletops. We encourage customers to ask questions about the particular piece they are considering before making a purchase.
