Solid Engineered Marble Side Table

Engineered marble is an innovative composite material made to replicate the luxurious aesthetics of natural marble. Our engineered marble side tables are made from 90% natural marble chips and crushed stone which is combined with polyester resin binders. 

This mixture is poured into moulds to achieve the desired shape and size. The cast base undergoes a controlled curing process under specific temperature and pressure conditions. This allows the polyester resin to crosslink and solidify, transforming the mixture into a rock solid and stable material. Once cooled, the surface undergoes a grinding and polishing process using diamond-tipped grinding wheels, ensuring a flawlessly smooth and level foundation.

Multiple coats of high-quality lacquer specially formulated for engineered stone surfaces are then applied to the table. This is what creates the coveted high-gloss finish and adds the unique veining and intricate patterns, replicating the natural variations of real marble. These layers aren't just for aesthetics; they act as a protective shield, ensuring resistance to stains, minor scratches, moisture and even UV rays.

Key Benefits

• Aesthetic Appeal: With advanced manufacturing techniques, engineered marble achieves a stunning resemblance to natural marble, complete with intricate veins and a variety of patterns and hues. The high gloss marble effect lacquer enhances its beauty, giving it a luxurious and sophisticated finish, allowing you to enjoy the luxury of this earthy natural stone without the hefty price tag and demanding maintenance.
• Minor Scratch & Heat Resistance: The high-gloss lacquer acts as a protective layer, making the surface more resistant to minor scratches & heat damage, enhancing the table's durability and suitability for everyday use.
• Easy Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface of the lacquered engineered marble is relatively easy to clean with regular wiping using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Environmental Sustainability: Engineered marble incorporates recycled materials, reducing the demand for quarrying natural stone. This contributes to environmental conservation, making it a more sustainable choice.
• Grey Marble: A conversation starter, immerse yourself in the captivating depths of smokey grey marble. Detailed silver and charcoal textures swirl across the surface, evoking a sense of mystery that's guaranteed to awe your guests.
• Black Marble: Embrace the drama and intrigue of the black marble base. With intricate off-white veins weaving through the surface, this bold and captivating addition adds a touch of modern edge to your dining room, creating a truly unforgettable focal point.

Care guide

• Regular Cleaning: For routine maintenance, wipe your engineered marble side table with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for any stubborn stains, but avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the surface.
• Prompt Spill Cleanup: Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent staining. Although engineered marble is more stain-resistant than natural stone, certain substances, if left unattended, can penetrate the sealant.
• Use Placemats: While our engineered marble boasts a minor scratch & heat resistant surface, it’s still advisable to protect the table's surface by using coasters under glasses, placing hot dishes on trivets or using placemats under plates & cutlery to ensure the table maintains its aesthetic appeal over time.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, acidic products (vinegar, citrus cleaners), or bleach, as they can dull the finish, etch the surface, or cause permanent stains.

Sizing Guide

• Measure Your Seating: Begin by measuring the height of the armrests on your sofa or chair where the side table will be placed. This helps determine the ideal height of your side table for easy access. Aim for the tabletop to be within 2.5-5 cm of the armrest height.
• Clearance: To ensure a sense of openness and avoid a cramped ambiance, aim to leave 30-45cm of clearance between the side table & other furniture (when placed next to a sofa/armchair) to allow for comfortable movement and prevent the space from feeling crowded. 
• Depth: The side table's depth should be shallower than the depth of your sofa or armchair to avoid protruding and creating an obstructed feeling. Aim for a depth difference of 7-15 cm.
• Shape: Round or oval side tables are ideal for tight spaces or if you want to soften the lines of your room as their curved edges create a more spacious feel compared to sharp corners. Square side tables offer more surface area and work well in larger spaces where you need additional tabletop space.
• Usage: While the most common placement for a side table is next to a sofa/armchair, you can also utilise empty corners to add visual interest and break up empty space, while offering additional surface area and functionality. It can also be placed near the entrance to hold keys or a small plant, or be used as a bedside table for lamps, books or phones.
