Wow, marble sounds nice! Heavy, but nice.
Last year, one of our alumni - who's currently the High Pi - had his brother-in-law, a Shop teacher in Upstate NY, build a really nice table for the chapter and ship it down to Florida. It arrived last fall during Founders Day.
The High Phi came over for the great unpacking. The triangular legs appeared a little long, but undaunted, we laid the top upside-down on the floor, slipped the legs into their pockets, and set the table upright. We stood back to admire it.
"Is it supposed to be that high?" One of the brothers walked up to it, folded his arms on top, and pretended to order a beer.
"Yep, that's definitely too tall". We had a good chuckle. It was an easy fix, though - just chop a foot or so off each of the legs. Very nicely constructed, however, out of maple or oak (I forget which).
ZAX,
Jono
