Is he hanging out with some stuck-up full of themselves interior designers or what? A table over 200K??? For god's sake, man, get ahold of them! PLUS he has to ship that thing by container home to CA.!! How much is THAT going to cost? Furthermore, hasn't everyone in the world had that conversation where you say "You know, even if I was rich, I wouldn't spend $X.XX on a blankety-blank."? Apparently not Mr. Pitt.

It is all about negative space. I would actually prefer it if it were white plastic rather than marble.

If it were plastic, I'd think it genius. As is, I think its over priced. :) I think the table is awesome! It is all about negative space.
