A polished wheel of Carrara marble sits on a tidy steel base for an effect that is loaded with low-key elegance Features Marble is a dynamic and natural material. This means that distinctive natural marks may occur at the top and will vary from table to table. This is part of its intrinsic beauty. They recommend that the honed marble top be sealed on occasion (every year or two) to avoid/delay any surface changes. An impregnating sealer easily available at most hardware stores is your best bet.
