- Is the top real travertine or a lookalike?
- It is a genuine travertine stone top, so expect natural pitting and veining rather than a uniform printed pattern.
- Does the travertine top need sealing?
- Travertine is porous. Sealing it after setup helps resist stains from coffee, wine and oil, and resealing once a year keeps it protected.
- How big is it and will it fit my sofa setup?
- The top is 30 inches across. That works with a standard three-seat sofa and one or two chairs, and leaves room to walk around in smaller rooms.
- How many people are needed to assemble it?
- Plan on two. The stone top is heavy and the legs need to be aligned and tightened while the top is supported.
- How does it compare with a glass or wood coffee table?
- It is heavier and needs more care than glass or veneer, but the real stone top is more distinctive and handles heat and daily use better than laminate.
- Will my table look exactly like the photos?
- No. Travertine varies in color and veining, so each top is slightly different from the product images.
