Looks like laminated?
Can always have a knock on it and feel the weight.
Real marble are pretty heavy.

Transportation may kill you.
Always dig your local shops first. Real marble's patent won't be the same, especially those with marks type.

For long distance transportation, I don't really feel comfortable with it. For such a big piece, if they don't handle it properly and considering our moon surface road, they may break it.
Maybe try hunting in Seremban, Kajang first?

Start from the places near your house first.
10 years back, I surveyed 30 shops before I got my marble table but because it is grade 2 type, so it is cheaper.
I prefer those with "defects" marble as it can tell you those are original marble.

Don't waste your time in fairs, wasting time and money if you buy there. It is always overprice even they are giving you 70% of discount

What I will do is, I'll bring my wife and go eat out in some where further from our home. We always go out 1-2 hours earlier.
So whenever we passing by a furniture shop, sure stop by and hunt for good bargain for what we need to buy. But we never buy in first time.
Got the item we need, short list that shop first then carry on.
We even went to KL to search for it. There's 1 whole row after Sungai Besi toll(forgot the name), we spent 2 hours there but can't get anything.

That's right, but not till the extend of > 100km. Warranty could be an issue basically.

Depends the quality of lamination, the keyword is you don't damaged the joining points.
Still, it will fail over the time.
That's why some hardcore people still willing to search high and low for real marble table regardless of the price
10 years ago when I bought it after searching 30 shops, it was rm1100, second grade marble. After 10 years, the price already rm1800 for third grade marble(same shape, chair design different).
At least it was real marble. What the grade difference is, mine will change color, when original it has some brown stains, now it is getting darker.
And do not drink or put coffee or tea cup on marbles, it is the biggest enemy of marbles

Scratches? Sure have, staining, not really, but the brownish side do go darker. May need to do a polish like floor.

Local shop in Seremban. Was our last shop even the fact that we everyday passby there(too near too main road that always jam).


Well, don't hope for people's review, you have to check it out your self.

Well, some stain = art
Anyway, first time hear of this, may need to try out on my table.
