Taj Mahal Slabs - Help!

5 years ago

Hi!

After driving around to a dozen places, I finally narrowed it down to 3 slabs of TM. Now, I have to pick which lot.

Which one do y’all like the best? I’ve attached a photo of the kitchen as well so you can see how it’ll be cut up.

The breakfast bar is going to be cut down so I’ll have a flat surface which will allow the slab to be larger, so the design will be seen more.

Thanks everyone!

I like lot # 1 best. I prefer TM slabs that are more swirly and not the ones with parallel stripes. I've noticed that the swirly ones also tend to have more of that cream and light tan color in them.

When you decide, make sure they pull out every slab in that particular lot, so you can pick the exact ones you want.

Lucky you, having enough TM slabs available to actually get to choose which lot!

I also like #1 the best. Isn't one of the slabs calling your name? When I found my right stone, it chose me!

#1 or #2 with #1 having the edge. I find gentle swirls calming.

#3 for me! But it's purely an aesthetic choice - they are all magnificent!

Looks like some are honed and some polished? Might also have to consider preferred finish in making your choice. Prepare for some sticker shock! Taj is so hard that fabrication is pricier. Ask me how I know! My kitchen was 3 slabs, mitered edge. I love it and the Taj is bulletproof. Enjoy.

@Susan Murin your kitchen is beautiful!! Do you know what color your white cabinets are and the stain color of the island?

Thank you. My cabs are Egret White and the island stain is custom- I showed my cab maker a wood sample I liked from a furniture line and he matched it.
