Although advertised as genuine marble, the table is in fact laminated and covered in tempered glass. The design is beautiful and I couldn't get myself to return them despite the fact that the quality wasn't great for the price paid. It came with quite a few scratches and misalignments. I also ordered the side tables which had the same issues. The final product looks great, but it's a bit expansive considering that it's NOT marble, and the overall quality.
