<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 4418602, member: 5170"]Real marble is VERY cold to the touch. Cultured marble is cool. A real marble top would probably just lift off of the top of the piece, held on by it's own weight. Cultured marble would probably be glued or fastened in some way. Real marble of that size and shape would probably be beveled while a cultured piece would be formed in a mold. A real marble piece would would likely be in a contrasting color to the base; Carrera marble is by far the most common type found on furniture: it is white with gray striations. A cultured piece would likely be tinted to match the base.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
