Not at present, but I have in the past. If you’re trying to decide on a dining table it’s much like deciding on a kitchen countertop material. You might even be able to coordinate the dining table surface with your kitchen countertops. One potential difference is that these products are heavy, so if you want to reposition your dining table frequently then they can be awkward (unless perhaps you equip the table legs with casters/wheels that lock). Of course a heavy table could be an advantage since it reduces or eliminates wobbling. On the other hand, if you like extendable dining tables then these surfaces probably don’t work. Natural stone products tend to require more care than manufactured stone.

Just an inexpensive one that we’re likely to replace later this year, but we haven’t found one that we like yet. A quartz dining table is a possibility.

Marble top dining table stain easily so unless you place a glass over it or maintain it very well, you should choose other material. Or unless just want to look 'swee' which I cannot deny marble does have that 'atas look' but seldom really use, so can go for marble.😆😆😆

I agree marble is nightmare material whether for floor or dining table, ok only for console table or those decorative small table without much use. I would even advise against using marble for coffee tables as its not practical. Quartz or silestone better option but good quartz is not cheap

A wooden table can be nice piece as well, if it fits into the overall design

Same here. Got my Sintered Stone table at Comfort Furniture. Though it is hollow on the inside probably due to Comfort Furniture's choice to maximize cost vs my own customized sintered stone counter top, the sintered stone still works as intended. Meaning, I dare to choose a white marble design for both my dining table and kitchen countertop. And for months, it still has remained pristine white wiping away the easy to stain turmeric and I dare to put my airfryer cooking utensil directly on the table without the use of a coaster as it leaves no trace of having a heated object leaving a mark on it.

If it were any other stone types or wood for dining tables, I wouldn't dare do that as they have a lot of cons. But not with Sintered Stone. So if you want something that will last, Sintered Stone is the way to go. If you want wood looks, then go with those wood resin dining tables. But they won't last anywhere near a Sintered Stone. That's for sure.

In your opinion, how is Sintered Stone compared to Quartz ? My previous house, my dining table is customized using ColorQuartz and is quite easy to maintain too.

Maybe this link can be of assistance. Very extensive tests of the many different types of stones that we can choose from in Singapore. So Granite, Quartz, Concrete, Sintered.

Also video for demonstration of everything you can do with it. Anyway, for my Black marble-looking quartz, it became discoloured. The black got lighter in areas where it was exposed to heat and water. But if you feel like Quartz is better and didn't pose any issues for your usage, then go ahead. At least you can now make an informed decision knowing what you know now. So no harm if you still choose Quartz. Have a nice day!

Video for demonstration.
