Trapezium Outdoor Dining Table

A stone table or furniture piece needs to suit the room, the finish and the route into place. It is made to order, so the useful planning happens before the workshop starts.

The listed size detail is 200, 220 or 240cm x 120cm, so use that as the starting point before the final check. For tables, the key checks are room size, seating space, doorways, steps and the final position. For outdoor pieces, gates, side paths and changes in level matter too.

Stone has weight, so delivery and access are part of the specification. Photos of the route through the house or garden help us plan the finished piece sensibly.

The listed finish detail is A wide range of Marazzi porcelains. Samples and showroom checks are still useful, because colours change with room light and nearby materials. The colours and finishes page is the best place to shortlist materials, then a sample or showroom visit helps you check the surface in real light.
