Default Table with granite insert

FWIW coasters for drinks and especially in humid climates need to be
porous. Granite would make a terrible coaster. Almost pointless to
have a granite coaster IMHO.

But granite makes a great end table top.

Below is actually marble but....

I made the top perimeter frame and marble slab separate. You lift off
the perimeter frame, the rock slab, and then you only have half the
weight to lift if you ever move the unit.

AND the rock slab does not have to be a particular size.

That's an excellent solution, Leon.
