How I Flipped My Facebook Marketplace Marble Table

Alright, team—this one’s a good one. You know I love a Facebook Marketplace find. There’s just something about scrolling through endless listings, dodging the "still available?" ghosts, and then—BAM—you strike gold. That’s exactly what happened when I came across this absolute beauty of a marble coffee table. Heavy. Chunky. Wheels. Okay, the wheels weren’t the vibe, but we’ll get to that.

The Marketplace Score:

So, I spot this marble coffee table, and it’s got everything I love: character, weight, and that old-money aesthetic without the old-money price tag. I message the seller, and we do the Marketplace negotiation dance (you know the one). Before I know it, I’m hauling a solid slab of marble into my car.

The original plan? Keep it as a coffee table. But when I got it home, something clicked—I needed an entryway table. And suddenly, this find had a whole new purpose.

The Simple But Game-Changing DIY

Here’s the thing: the table came with wheels. Functional? Sure. Stylish? Not in this house. The goal was to elevate, literally and aesthetically, so off they came. With a quick unscrew situation and a little lift, the table sat at the perfect height for an entryway moment. And let me tell you, the second it was in place—it made sense. Like it was meant to be there all along. The proportions? Chef’s kiss. The veining in the marble? Giving luxury. The vibes? Immaculate.

Why This Flip Worked

Repurposing = The Secret to Unique Decor. Instead of hunting for the “perfect” entryway table (aka spending $$$), I made something work unexpectedly. And now? It’s way more interesting than something store-bought.
