Buying slabs

Tabletop

A tabletop is the finished or prepared top surface of a table.

It can be made from one slab, joined boards or a manufactured panel. The construction should be stated because each moves and repairs differently.

Check final size, thickness, underside fixings and finish. A raw slab is material for a tabletop, not automatically a ready top.
