I would like a solid surface or Corian dining table and am looking for some ideas and advice. I would love to see your photos. How do I go about finding a table base that will hold the weight? I believe it will be an 8 foot table. A wood base would warm it up, but I'm sure an iron base would be stronger. Some bases, when bought separately, seem more expensive than purchasing an entire table and just using its base. Can you share any ideas or advice? Thank you!
