desk marble
A marble top desk is a piece of high end furniture; it’s a statement of timeless elegance and sophisticated design. Ideal for executive offices or creative studios, a desk with a marble top enhances any workspace with its luxurious aesthetic and unique character. A typical 20 mm marble top weighs ~55–60 kg per m² (30 mm ~80–90 kg per m²). Always verify floor loading for upper-storey installations and specify a steel or aluminium support frame with cross-bracing to distribute weight and keep the top perfectly level. Honed and leathered finishes minimise visible etching and fingerprints, making them more practical than high-polish for daily work. Request factory sealing and plan a periodic reseal (typically every 12–18 months) to improve resistance to oils, coffee and inks. Use coasters and desk blotters; wipe spills immediately. Mild pH-neutral cleaners only—avoid acids and abrasives. Light etching can be blended with a specialist marble care kit; deeper marks may require professional honing. We can include a maintenance kit with your order. Yes—plan grommets, access flaps and under-desk cable trays during fabrication. Apertures are CNC-cut in the slab and structurally reinforced within the subframe. Inset power (USB-C, sockets) is routed through the frame to keep the surface clear and the stone uncompromised. A soft arris or small radius (2–3 mm) on a straight edge protects wrists without visually “thickening” the slab. For executive desks, a slim shadow-gap above the frame lightens the look while preserving knee clearance and ergonomic posture. Marble desks are made to order. Allow time for slab selection, drawings and approvals, then fabrication and crating. We survey access (lifts, stairs, door widths) and can supply split tops with invisible joints. White-glove delivery includes placement, levelling and final sealing.
