Remember Cosmo Kramer's coffee table book on coffee tables that even turns into a mini coffee table? While picturing this makes us chuckle, it also reminds us of the importance of having a strong, practical and durable coffee table. If you have an old coffee table that is lacking in functionality and/or aesthetics, consider giving it new life by adding a beautiful granite top. Granite slabs are incredibly durable and resistant to heat, stains and antibacterial buildup. Plus, the colors and patterns that you can potentially incorporate into an interior design with your granite coffee table can give the space a whole new look and feel.
