The finish on the River Stone Dark Granite Side Table is a marvel of technology, as flakes have been applied to the surface. This not only makes it look like real stone, it results in a very strong weatherproof finish. It simply will not scratch and the surface weathers the outdoors for several years. The organic feel of this coffee table shaped like a rock introduces softness into a contemporary space and naturalness to a traditional one. It’s made of composite so it’s much easier to move around than real stone.
