SLABS by Design

"Thanks Emma and SLABS by Design team! We love our 2 x side tables. They really work well with the rest of our furniture (& dining table we got from you a while back!) You were right the light wood finish looked best. See pic. Thanks for your patience whilst we made our minds up about what we wanted."

"After spending a not so insignificant amount of money on a table from Slabs By Design we're left with a sour taste in our mouths. After the first time that the table was delivered and installed, we sat down and immediately realised that the top sat too high for a dining table. You'd think that this would be something that would be checked and double checked before delivering a 150kg+ slab of marble which took a small crane to get off the truck and 6 men to install? After liaising with Slabs By Design and determining where the issue was, the installers were scheduled to come back a few weeks later to remove the marble top and take it away to get the bottom milled out so that it sat at the correct height. During that waiting period, my wife gave birth and in the first few days back from the hospital they came back to remove and then reinstall the top. As you could imagine, running on minimal sleep and with a crying baby, we were not in a state nor mood to thoroughly check the table as we didn't think it would be an issue - this was our mistake for sure. A few weeks after the reinstallation, we found a small chip on an edge of the table that exactly corresponded to where the table was loaded onto the trolley used to move the top in. I double checked the pictures that at the time I proudly took on the day of the second delivery and could clearly see that the damage was already there and not something caused by us since - I'm not here to try to scam anyone into fixing damage that we caused. Slabs By Design has since said that we needed to check the table thoroughly before the installers left, and they will not take any responsibility for damage reported after the fact. It would've been good to know that beforehand - useless information now. Anyway, the table is beautiful but we're now in for another quoted ~$500 to get it repaired from the company that Slabs recommended to us. As a side note, on the way out, the installers ran their trolley into our wall which left a nice little dent in our brand new house that we now have to repair and paint - where should I send the bill, Emma? TLDR; An amazingly beautiful table, with terribly lacking pre-delivery QC and so-so post sales service. 2 stars because we still love the table even though it is damaged."

"I had an fantastic experience with SLABSbydesign! Emma lovingly turned my very vague idea into a beautiful bespoke side table, suitable for absolutely any context. Everything from design to delivery was executed with professionalism and to the highest standard. I can’t thank you enough and will continue to recommend."

"Thank you so much Emma! You’ve been such a help and have seriously transformed our balcony space. Absolutely chuffed with the outcome! Throughout the whole process Emma was so helpful from start to finish...firstly coming round the house and giving us suggestions around style, size and colour of our table. We ended up going with a round cooper dining table which has turned out to be a great fit for the space. The colour and finish on the concrete is beautiful and the whole service including delivery was seamless. Plus she gave great advice on chairs. Thank you so much for all your help...will be recommending to friends who are looking for beautiful concrete furniture pieces that stand out from everything else on offer."

"Was looking for that perfect piece for a space newly renovated and Emma delivered with a table that was beyond our expectations with a piece that was not only exact to the design brief but with beautiful detail that was added to it that makes the table exceptional. Emma was great to work with excellent understanding of aesthetic design and with a clear grasp of the way furniture and space interacts and how to optimise that interaction. Attention to detail including a site visit to ensure all the right choices were made made was all part of an excellent operation at Slabs by Design. We enjoy the table every day thanks Emma."
