Really nice work, Mark!

The 'work' is nice. The actual build is well executed, but there is a
serious design flaw in the overall look of the table.
The flare at the top of the legs, plus the excessive rounded overhang
of the granite makes the whole design look like the Atlas with the
world on his back. It is like the tables are trying to push those tops
into the room. The whole thing has a pushy Teutonic feel to it.
Engineery... not elegant.

Robatoy is bitter he didn't get to fab the tops :)

Yea, at $40 - $ 50 per top, that would have put a dent in my overhead.
LOL

Outstanding tables, but why the 'lebenty seben pics of them on that
one page?

Oh, when are you going to reupholster the couch and chairs
to match the tables? Ditto recarpeting?

Why did you go with 3 shallow drawers in each one vs a cavern, or a
cavernous single drawer? Just curious.

Another kudo for that green granite. 'sbooful.

Thanks.  Since you mentioned you were considering something similar in the
future, there were two green granites that we considered, the first,
"verde butterfly" has similar pattern to the one we chose "verde uba
tuba", but the patterning is much larger.  That would work well in a
larger setting such as a kitchen

the smaller patterning on the
granite we chose, IMO, worked better on a small piece, lending itself
better to the scale of the project.

Because I couldn't decide which ones not to use. I figured it took 2
years worth of weekends to make, a few more seconds to have the page load
wouldn't be *that* bad. I'll probably re-wicker the page in the future and
delete a few of the more redundant pictures.

Hah! You think *I'm* going to suggest re-decorating?

Why did you go with 3 shallow drawers in each one vs a cavern, or a
cavernous single drawer? Just curious.

The primary reason for going with 3 shallow drawers was that we really
didn't need any more deep drawers for stuff to get lost in, particularly in
the living room. There is sufficient storage in the entertainment center
and elsewhere for big stuff. This was intended to hold smaller things like
remotes or other items not requiring cavernous space. Also, the piece just
looked better with the three smaller divisions.
