Description
The Checkmate Marble Dining Table combines dining and recreation within a single marble surface by incorporating a chessboard directly into the tabletop. The playing area is seamlessly integrated into the stone, allowing the table to function as both a dining table and a space for casual games without requiring additional accessories. A cylindrical pedestal keeps the base compact, providing clear legroom around the perimeter and supporting the weight of the tabletop evenly. Made from 100% natural Beige Travertine, each table displays its own fossil markings, veining and tonal variation, ensuring every piece is unique. Custom dimensions and alternative marble selections are also available for bespoke residential and commercial projects.
Marble care
While your marble surface arrives pre-sealed, this beautiful natural stone remains inherently porous. To prevent scratches, chips, or stubborn stains, please follow these daily care practices:
Defending the Surface
- Guard Against Acids: Keep highly acidic items—including citrus juices, wine, coffee, and tomato-based products—off the stone. They can etch and dull the finish.
- Use Protective Barriers: Always place coasters, trivets, or placemats beneath glassware, hot dishes, and sharp or heavy objects to shield the marble from thermal shock and scratches.
- Blot Spills Fast: If a spill occurs, act quickly. Blot the liquid immediately rather than wiping (which spreads it), then wipe the area down with a clean, damp cloth.
Safe Cleaning Practices
- Daily Dusting: Keep the surface free of debris by wiping it regularly with a dry, microfiber cloth.
- Gentle Washing: For a deeper clean, use a soft cloth moistened with warm water and a drop of mild, pH-neutral dish soap. Always follow up with a fresh, water-only damp cloth to erase any soap residue.
- Products to Avoid: Keep harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubbing pads, furniture polishes, and standard dusting sprays far away from your marble, as they can strip the sealant.
Travertine care
Crafted from genuine Italian travertine, each piece is individually shaped and cut to follow the stone's organic, natural veining. The surface features a refined, honed satin finish and comes pre-sealed to highlight its innate elegance. Because travertine is defined by its organic origin, elements like natural pitting, shifting textures, and unique color variations are inherent traits to be celebrated—making your piece entirely one of a kind. Additionally, its naturally porous composition makes it versatile enough to beautifully withstand a variety of outdoor environments.
Maintenance & Protection Guide
Routine Cleaning
- Debris Removal: To clear dust and particles from the stone's natural pits, dust regularly or gently clear the crevices using a soft-bristled brush or a handheld vacuum.
- Standard Washing: Wipe down the surface periodically using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a touch of mild dish soap.
- Shield the Sealant: Absolutely avoid abrasive scrubbing pads and harsh chemical cleaners, which can erode the stone. Plan to periodically re-apply a stone sealer over time to maintain its protective barrier.
Everyday Safeguards
- Deflect Heat & Rings: Always place trivets under hot cookware and use coasters for beverages to prevent ring marks and heat discoloration.
- Block Acidic Compounds: Keep acidic items like wine, tomato sauces, coffee, and fruit juices entirely off the surface, as they can permanently etch the stone.
- Manage Spills Promptly: If a spill happens, immediately soak up the moisture using a soft, dry cloth.
- Mind the Weight: Because of travertine's porous matrix, avoid dragging sharp tools or placing excessively heavy, pointed objects directly on the surface to prevent chips, scratches, and nicks.

Frequently asked questions
What material is the Checkmate Marble Dining Table made from?
The table is made from solid natural Beige Travertine. As with all natural stone, each slab has its own markings, texture and colour variation.
Is the chessboard part of the tabletop?
Yes. The chessboard is integrated into the marble surface rather than being a separate insert. This creates a continuous tabletop that can be used for both dining and playing chess.
Can the table still be used as a dining table?
Yes. The chessboard occupies the centre of the tabletop while leaving space around it for place settings, serving dishes or decorative items. When not in use, it functions like a standard dining table.
Can this table be manufactured in custom sizes?
Yes. The table can be produced in bespoke diameters and heights to suit your space. We also manufacture custom versions for residential, hospitality and commercial projects.
Can I choose a different marble?
Yes. Although this version is shown in Beige Travertine, the table can also be manufactured in the customer's preferred natural marble, subject to material availability.
How many people can this table seat?
Seating capacity depends on the diameter selected. We can recommend suitable dimensions based on the number of people you would like the table to accommodate.
Is every table the same?
No. Travertine is a natural stone, so each slab contains its own fossil formations, veining and tonal differences. These variations are a natural characteristic of the material.
Is this table suitable for commercial spaces?
Yes. The table is suitable for hotels, lounges, cafes, private clubs, residential developments and other commercial interiors where multifunctional furniture is required.
