The tabletop is made of a splendid thick slab of richly veined natural pink marble, with a finely contoured perimeter profile and rounded corners that lend a soft, dynamic feel to the overall design.

This piece is the perfect accent piece, capable of fitting with character into both classic living rooms and contemporary, eclectic settings as a contrasting mid-century element. See less
