Aren granite tops heavy?
Granite tops are heavy. Our 2cm granite tops are 35-40% heavier than a 1 1/4 laminate top with the same area. Granite tops are not too heavy to move around the dining area as needed but do have the heft to stay put. This often leads to a reasonable, but fortunately incorrect, assumption that the freight on granite table tops is excessive. It is not, as the freight class in which granite can be shipped makes the freight comparable to table tops of other materials. You will need to arrange for the manpower to unload the table tops or arrange for a lift gate delivery (let us know if you elect this option as we can help set it up) as we ship via common carrier and do not usually ship our tops via parcel service (UPS).
