How do you clean your wood kitchen table?

Does anyone have a granite top table? Do you like it? I’m looking for a new kitchen nook table because DH gave our table away, and I’m leaning towards something with a stone top. Any tips on brands and makers are welcome as well. Thanks!



We had a table with a granite base. It had this really cool diagonal offset, and there was a 8ft-by-8ft plate of 1/2" thick glass on top of it. You could sit twelve people around it with elbow room to spare.

About ten years into its lifespan, my brother set his backpack full of school books on the table. The diagonal offset gave way. The entire thing crashed to the floor. Broken glass… EVERYWHERE… The table carnage was really quite spectacular, and my brother was incredibly lucky that he walked away unscathed.

Presumably Cantoni has figured out how to build a better table by now, and they were very good about calling some professional cleaners to come and de-glass our home. They replaced the table, as well.

So, Cantoni!
Pros: good customer service, and you might find a really nice stone table.
Cons: potential for mortal peril.
