Stone top table, gold and black base
Metal in two tones is the cheapest way to make a plain stone top look deliberate: the gold catches the light the stone throws away, and the black keeps it from reading as brass.

Two tones, one piece
Gold on its own reads as brass and dates quickly; a black base under a stone top reads as a table bolted to a works floor. Putting both on the same frame solves the problem: the gold is a line rather than a surface, and the black does the work of holding the piece down in a dark room.
The split also hides wear. Gold takes fingerprints on any broad surface and shrugs them off on a narrow one, which is why the two-tone frames are built with thin gold sections rather than panels.
Stone on stainless
Stone is heavy and stainless is stiff, so the pairing needs no apron under the top — the slab sits on a frame the eye reads as part of the base. That is what makes a square top look thin at the edge, which is the whole visual point of a stone top in the first place.
The frame is stainless rather than mild steel because the finish is the product here. Painted frames that chip at the foot ruin the piece faster than any scratch on the top.
Where it belongs
The front of a room, the raised area, the tables a photograph is taken at. On a back-of-house floor where chairs are stacked and tables dragged, the same money buys a compact laminate top and a black pedestal that nobody has to protect.
