Is the base cast aluminum like the original and is the top a natural carerra marble? The picture is a little pixelated -- are there any others?

I believe the base is fiberglass. I don't know if the marble is carrara. The edge is round.

I believe it is cast aluminum, but it appears to be strong as it sits in a well made cone shaped steel bed in the safe. The walls and bottom of the safe are rolled steel and painted for moderate corrosion resistance.

The top is Granite, not marble. The color is mostly white with light grey and tan veins. No name was provided for the granite

The picture is deceiving, it is white. Mine is white with a few gray flakes in the marble. My bathroom has a cream travertine floor and a cream vintage mirror and the vanity with a white top still looks fabulous. I love it!

It isn't real marble - some sort of veneer/laminate. So far, I am pleased. Easy to clean, no rings from glasses.

Yes, it's marble. Also quite heavy and will take two people to attach the legs. The quality is superb, however, and my guests and family love it! I highly recommend.

The base is plastic with a chrome finish. I will say that although I was disappointed at first, this is an amazingly tough little machine. I am so glad I purchased it!!

The base is white plastic. I see how it's confusing because the description says the finish is "blue." Nope. It's solid white like the main image.

The base is in 2 parts, top is copper color I doubt it is actually copper, the bottom part of base is plastic. I've had it several months with no issues.

Yes, unless there has been a recent change. I ordered this from Amazon and it is cast aluminum. Works beautifully.

It's marble veneer. Very thin (~1/4" thick) slabs of marble glued to cover a thicker wood slab on the top and sides. Under the bottom the wood and glue or epoxy is visible, but you have to be under it to see. You can see on the sides where the edges of the marble veneer pieces meet if you look very closely, but otherwise it has the appearance of a solid marble slab. Setting tableware on it I can tell from the sound it is not solid stone, but not sure anyone else would notice.

No, It is one solid piece of marble. Mine just arrived it is beautiful and an exceptional good value. This item is not comparable to vanities in the box stores. It looks like a custom designed piece. It looks even better than the pictures show. I'm very happy with it.

There is nothing that came with it that said what it is made of. It feels like some of it is wood and some is not, for example, the backing is mdf and the feet are some type of very hard resin. I'm saying resin because the thing is very heavy and the feet definitely support it. The finish is very pretty, so to tell you truth, I wouldn't be upset if someone proved to me it isn't wood. My husband's take was that it wouldn't be affected by humidity so the drawers won't stick. :) But I would say, if it is wood, it is only part wood. But I cannot tell by look or touch. At to the height, the legs get attached on site after delivery, and they do bring it to 32" high. I was worried about that too, because I had another chest in the spot and it was too high (it was 42" and very awkward). When the unit came, I wasn't sure if I liked it - I kind of did, but I originally had something painted and very oriental in mind, but I saw that the height was good for my spot. That was a relief. It is hard to picture height, but 32" is about the height of a bathroom counter. (Kitchen counters are 4" higher. I will see if I can post some customer pix on Amazon - might help.) I wish the stock photo had something in it to give a frame of reference because it is hard to tell how it will look. But now, I love it, it has grown on me. I can keep my phone books and some photos and mail in it and the height is very comfortable. I love the marble top. I had to have a glass top made for my other tables to keep them from getting scratched, but the glass then requires a scarf, etc. Hope this helps you.

Hi, Scot, it's me again! I just checked the box and nowhere, on the outside, does it state specific marble measurements. I researched several brands before I made my final purchase decision, and I must have been recalling a different marble track item. The "marbles" that are included with this set, are actually some type of very hard plastic and they are silver. The real, genuine vintage, marbles I purchased to go along with the gift, are working just fine with the track. I think the real marbles are just a bit heavier.

Correct, it is only the base that has the aluminum core. Everything else is stainless steel.

The product I received January 2014 was an aluminum oxide combination stone. I did use it to remove a lot of metal from a nicked up chisel. It's a good stone, but it is definitely not what they used to be selling. No plates, no plastic. I tried to upload pictures and Amazon declined. The package even says "aluminum oxide " If you search this "233S1 HTS" on Amazon you will find the product that "hobbytoolsupply" sent me instead of the described cheap thin diamond plates.
