If you like the look but want to elevate the design, add detailing like the running groove around the edge, as seen in this image.

Add Some Curves with a Round Marble Dining Table
There are a few reasons to go in for a round marble dining table of which the most important one is space constraints. Any shape will work in a larger dining area, while squares and round tables work better in smaller rooms. If you need a compact marble dining table 4 seater, a circular one is perfect for small spaces without compromising on the luxe aspect of the material. However, round dining tables aren’t restricted to cosy rooms. Even in a large dining room a round marble dining table can look elegant and lend softness and curved geometry to the space.

Elevate your Marble Dining Table Design with a Wood Base
Marble and wood is such an ageless combination and a great way to create a unique, custom dining table design. Custom design your wood base in a solid hardwood like teak or sheesham and pair it with a sleek marble top. We love how the marble dining table has been combined with contemporary chairs on one end and comfy, built-in seating on the other.
Create a Bold Statement with a Thick Marble Dining Table
While marble and wood or marble and metal are fantastic material combinations for the dining table, a solid marble dining table and frame is all about the over-the-top opulence. While a thin slab is durable, notice how the thick marble top adds to the bold statement.
