Nice, looks amazing! How heavy is it?
It is now a permanent feature of the home
I had a similar coffee table. The shin-breaker-5000.
Well, if OP ever moves, the old slab could be broken up on site, the base moved, and a new slab cast at the destination. Or just hire the local high school football team at $20/jock/hour—four of them should be able to move it. 😅
4 X 50 = 200. Then add some weight for the fence mesh and timber frame/legs. I'd say around 250 pounds or around 110kg.
top slab is about 230 or 240 pounds. Wood base is only about 15 or so; light. I made no attachment between the concrete and the wood - just gravity.
