The easiest way to make a table with a heavy marble, granite, quartz or other stone top would be to use one of . These are incredibly strong and will be suitable for the heaviest projects. Depending on the specs and intended use for your table you may be able to simply rest the top on the frame, or if you want to secure the top to the frame then you can simply use glue, or even some heavy duty double sided tape.

If you want to use some of our non-free standing leg options, then you will want to check that the weight of your top won't exceed our and then it will be equally important to make sure that the attachment to the legs will be strong enough. To ensure a strong fixing we would recommend fixing a 24mm thick strong wood board to the top with an adhesive and screwing the legs into that. We'd recommend using a decent plywood, and avoiding things like MDF or particleboard.

For a smaller side table you might be able to glue the legs directly to the top, but for guaranteed sturdiness we'd really recommend the first option.

You can find a good guide to using both of these methods here:
